Syaahi Bangalori Silk Multicolor Modern Wall Hanging

What does the scene show?

Figures in yellow and green, an elephant and a tree, painted on a purple ground. The yellow-green figures glow against the purple, and the elephant gives the scene a strong central presence.

How is the border painted?

A black band with blue flowers and red leaves frames the panel. The black holds the purple centre firmly, and the blue and red flowers add bright points of colour around the edge.

Who makes it?

It is made to order at our Kalamkari unit in Mangalagiri and handcrafted by Master Artisan Jyothi, who paints it by hand on Bangalori silk. Small irregularities come naturally from the brush and are part of the piece's character.

Will the purple look the same as on my screen?

Very close, but colour hues can vary slightly from the image because screens and displays show colour differently, so the purple may look a touch warmer or cooler in person. Being hand painted, each piece also carries small irregularities in colour and line, which is natural for handmade work.

How do I keep it clean?

Gentle handwash only, and wash it separately from other fabrics. The colours are painted on silk by hand, so a gentle wash on its own is how to look after it.
