{"product_id":"rajasthani-jharokha-peacock-lippan-wall-art","title":"Peacock Lippan Wall Art – 24x24 Jharokha Panel with Mirror Work","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwo feet square, and the largest single panel we make. A peacock stands in raised relief inside a scalloped jharokha arch on a mustard ground, tail spread, with magenta blossom on curving branches beside it. Outside the arch the whole field is filled with a dense mosaic of small mirror pieces, so the bird sits against a surface that moves in the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24\"H × 24\"W × 10mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 3.15 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMDF panel with layered MDF relief and hand-set mirror pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-painted in India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHanging fittings on the back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLippan, reinterpreted\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLippan kaam is the mud-and-mirror relief work of Kutch in Gujarat — raised patterns built up in clay on the walls of village houses, with mirror pieces pressed in while the clay is still soft. This panel is a modern reading of that tradition rather than a literal one. The relief is cut and layered in MDF instead of raised in mud, which is what lets it survive a centrally heated home and a courier network; the mirror work is real, set by hand piece by piece exactly as it always was.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe think that is worth saying plainly. The mirrors are glass, the painting is freehand, the relief is genuinely three-dimensional — and the substrate is wood board, not clay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it goes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is square and it is big, which makes it awkward in a gallery wall and excellent on its own — above a sideboard, at the top of a stairwell, on the one blank wall in an open-plan room. Give it a light source. The mirror field is doing most of the work and it needs something to reflect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHanging it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 3.15 kg this needs a screw into a stud or a rated drywall anchor. It is the heaviest wall piece in the range — do not hang it on a nail in plasterboard. Screws and anchors are not supplied.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDust with a dry, soft brush. Never spray liquid at the surface: the mirror pieces are set into the relief and moisture will work under their edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the peacock raised or painted flat?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRaised. The body and tail are cut and layered so they stand off the panel, then painted. You can see the shadow it throws in the angled photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this real Lippan?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is a modern interpretation. Traditional Lippan builds its relief in clay; here the relief is layered MDF. The mirror inlay — the part most people mean when they say Lippan — is done the traditional way, by hand, in real glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre those real mirrors?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — small pieces of real mirror glass, set individually by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big is it, really?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e24 inches in both directions, so two feet square. Hold up a sheet of newspaper opened flat and you are close.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I order several?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor hospitality, stores, events or corporate gifting, email contact@urliutsav.com and we will quote you for a bulk order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eShipping and assurance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFree insured shipping across the USA and Canada.
