Up for sale is a beautiful wall hanging created by weaving beads in an intricate pattern to make lord ganesh. Ganesh is known as the Lord of Beginnings and a sacred deity in India, Nepal and many other Asian countries. This piece is as beautiful as it can get. Ready to be hanged as is or can be framed. ( framing increases the cost of shipping also if we get it done.) Its done in beautiful and vibrant colors. Pls note the colors may vary from monitor to monitor due to chromatic aberration.
It is a hand made piece of art done with all attention to details. It is done by a prominent Indian artist Mrs Indu Malhotra and is signed and dated on the back. Her pieces are collected world over especially in UK India Australia and USA ( Pls contact for references)
It took approximately 9000 beads to create this form. The beads are of best quality non toxic polymer, making it very light. When kept in cool dry place and away from direct sunlight this piece can last you for ever. ( I have a few pieces created by my mom with me for more 12 years now and they are still as good as new.)
This piece is entirely made by hand using a special knot that ties 4 beads in a diamond shape. Repetitive use of this knot created this intricately detailed pattern of ganesha . This process is very different from the also beautiful African style of beading. It does not uses galvanized wire for making the mold or base structure. Instead this kind of beading is done by creating intricately detailed patterns by replicating a special square knot created by beads. In other words it is a form of embroidery.This is an art form specially belonging to northern part of India. This art due to its complexity and high difficulty level is nearly extinct now.
