Red and orange mirror mosaic throughout, so the whole group reads as one piece from across a room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree panels: one 18 x 18 inch square, two 10 x 18 inch rectangles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal weight: approx. 3,780 g (approx. 8.3 lb)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMDF boards with hand-worked clay relief and glass mirror inlay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-made in India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack hook fitted to each panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold as a complete set of three\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat Lippan art is\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLippan kaam is the mud-and-mirror relief work of Kutch in Gujarat, made for centuries by Rabari women on the inside walls of their homes: clay worked into raised patterns with the fingers, then set with abhla - small mirrors - so a single oil lamp lights the whole room. What you are buying is that technique on a board, hand-worked in India.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is in the set\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeacock medallion\u003c\/strong\u003e - 18 x 18 inches, 1,800 g (approx. 4 lb). Two peacocks around a round mirror centre, red mosaic border\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo butterfly panels\u003c\/strong\u003e - 10 inches wide x 18 inches high, 990 g each (approx. 2.2 lb). One left-facing, one right-facing, mirror mosaic in the wings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe butterflies are a handed pair - one turns left and one turns right - which is why they belong either side of the peacock rather than side by side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy this one\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAround 3.8 kg - about 8.3 lb - of clay relief and glass across three boards. This is the only set in the range with no deity and no figure in it, which makes it the one people buy for a living room or an entryway where devotional imagery would not fit. The mirror work is heaviest in the butterfly wings and the peacock tail, so it catches light from an angle rather than head-on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it goes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbove a console in an entryway, over a sofa, along a stair wall, or in a hallway where three pieces in a row have room to breathe. It suits a plain wall - the mosaic is busy enough that wallpaper fights it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHanging it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach panel has its own hook. The peacock at 1,800 g wants a nail into a stud or a rated anchor; the butterflies at 990 g each are lighter. Hang the peacock first and space the butterflies off it. Screws and anchors are not supplied.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRelated Lippan\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you want pattern rather than creatures, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/16-dia-handmade-generic-lippan-wall-art-5-generic-designs-to-choose-from\"\u003e16-inch dot mandala panels\u003c\/a\u003e come in five colours and mix into the same wall.

Do not use water or spray cleaner on the clay work. If you want the mirrors bright, wipe them individually with a barely damp corner of the cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the price for all three panels?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. One price, three panels, shipped together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I hang them vertically instead of in a row?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. A vertical stack works on a narrow wall - peacock at the top, butterflies below. The butterflies are the same width as each other, so the column stays even.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much wall does it need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThirty-eight inches of art across three panels. In a row, allow about five feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs there any religious content?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Butterflies and peacocks, no deity. The peacock carries associations with Krishna through the feather, but the panel is decorative rather than devotional.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre the mirrors real glass?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. Each abhla is a small cut glass mirror set into the clay by hand while it is still workable. They are not printed, and they are not plastic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill mine look exactly like the photographs?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClose, not identical. The relief is pressed out by hand and every mirror is placed individually, so spacing and line weight differ slightly from set to set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the clay work chip?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt can if a panel is knocked hard against something, in the same way plasterwork can. In normal use on a wall it does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it go outdoors or in a bathroom?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. It is clay relief on an MDF board. Damp softens the clay and swells the board.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat if a panel arrives damaged?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShipping is insured.
