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\u003eRadha Krishna panel\u003c\/strong\u003e - 18 x 18 inches, 1,800 g (approx. 4 lb).

One cow per panel, in a jewelled gold saddle cloth on red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll three ship together. The cows are cut to the same 18-inch height as the centre panel, so hung in a row with even gaps the tops and bottoms line up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy this one\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost Radha Krishna wall art is a print or a canvas. This is 3,800 g - about 8.4 lb - of clay relief and glass across three boards. The pairing is what makes it: Lippan is a Gujarati technique and Pichwai a Rajasthani subject, and putting the cows beside the couple is the Nathdwara logic that Krishna the cowherd is inseparable from his herd.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it goes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbove a sofa, above a bed, or on the wall facing a front door - it needs about five feet of clear width for the three panels with breathing room between them. It also works split: the Radha Krishna panel above a mandir and the two cows elsewhere in the same room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHanging it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach panel has its own hook. The centre panel at 1,800 g wants a nail into a stud or a rated anchor; the cows at 1,000 g each are more forgiving. Mark the centre panel first and work outward from it. Screws and anchors are not supplied.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRelated Lippan\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you want the same subjects as single pieces rather than a set, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/18-matki-dahihandi-lippan-wall-art\"\u003eKrishna medallion listing\u003c\/a\u003e sells the Pichwai cow, Krishna flute, dancing feet and Dahihandi designs individually.

One price, three panels, shipped together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is Pichwai?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe devotional painting tradition of Nathdwara in Rajasthan, made as cloth hangings for the Shrinathji shrine. Cows are its constant subject because Krishna there is the cowherd of Vrindavan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much wall does it need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe three panels total 38 inches of art. With sensible gaps allow about five feet of wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I hang the cows facing each other?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes - the two cow panels are mirror images in composition, so they can face inward toward the centre panel or both the same way. Inward is the usual choice.\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.
