{"product_id":"24-handcrafted-warli-wall-art-traditional-tribal-decor","title":"24-Inch Warli Wall Art - Hand-Painted Tribal Village Scene","description":"\u003cp\u003eWarli is the painting tradition of the Warli people of Maharashtra, built entirely from circles, triangles and lines - stick figures with triangular torsos, drawn white on an earth-red ground. The subjects are ordinary: a harvest, a wedding, the tarpa dance in a ring. This 24-inch disc carries a full village scene in that language, painted by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24 inch diameter - two feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 mm thick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 2,200 g (approx. 4.9 lb)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMDF board, hand-painted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-painted in India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHanging hook fitted to the back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold as a single panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat you are looking at\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRead it from the centre out. Figures hold hands in a circle around the middle, the way the tarpa dance is always drawn. Around them are the things a Warli painting records - people carrying pots, animals, huts, a tree. Nothing is drawn in perspective and nothing is shaded. The whole grammar is two shapes and a line, which is why the style has survived being copied for a century without losing its identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy this one\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e2,200 g (approx. 4.9 lb) on a 10 mm board, two feet across. Warli is usually sold as a print on paper or canvas; this is paint on a rigid disc, which is why it hangs without a frame and without buckling. The white lines are brushed on individually - look along the outer figures and you can see the line weight change where the brush was reloaded.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it goes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver a dining table, in a study or home office, along a stair wall, or in a living room that already has a lot of colour and needs one quiet piece. The brown-and-white palette sits well against wood, jute and white walls, and does not fight patterned upholstery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe rest of the series\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFive 24-inch discs share this format, each a different subject: the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/24-adiyogi-shiva-wall-art-yoga-and-meditation-decor\"\u003eAdiyogi Shiva\u003c\/a\u003e, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/24-kathakali-wall-art-dance-drama-decor\"\u003eKathakali face\u003c\/a\u003e, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/24-inch-yin-yang-wall-art-asian-inspired-zen-decor\"\u003eYin Yang\u003c\/a\u003e and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/24-handcrafted-mandala-wall-art-earthy-tones-decor\"\u003emaroon and blue mandala\u003c\/a\u003e.

It is the standard subject matter of the tradition rather than a specific named event.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this authentic Warli art?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is painted by hand in India in the Warli idiom. It is not certified tribal-artist work and we do not sell it as such - if provenance matters to you, ask us before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs there mirror inlay on this one?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Warli disc is painted rather than mirrored. If you want mirror work in the same size, the Adiyogi, Kathakali and mandala discs in the series carry it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow heavy is it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2,200 g, about 4.9 lb. Use a stud or a rated drywall anchor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I hang it in a kitchen?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, on a dry wall away from the hob. Keep it out of direct steam and grease.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it fade in sunlight?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDirect all-day sun will dull any hand-painted surface over years.
