Craft & Story +

This translucent leather painting art form from Andhra Pradesh is used to make puppets for the popular shadow-puppet theatre tradition of Andhra Pradesh -‘Tholu Bommalata’- literally meaning “the dance of leather dolls’. An ancient practice, wandering entertainers have for centuries disseminated the knowledge of Hindu epics and local folk tales to the remotest corners of the region, through this art form and tradition.

The raw materials used are Goat hide and sheepskin and the colours used are derived from vegetables dyes. Creating small holes inside the decorative patterns enhances the attraction of the items, which is done using a pogaru (chisel). The painted piece is dried in sunlight over two to three days. Hindu epics like Ramayana and Mahabharata inspire artisans to create these beautiful items in a wide range of shapes, sizes and utility varying from paintings to lamp shades or puppets as a vibrant and unique work of art to liven up a wall or a corner. Lampshades are created using a mould and most of them are based on mythological figures.

FAQ +

What does this wall lamp look like?

Large round flowers are drawn in cream outline on a black ground, with small amber-yellow touches. Bands with a black triangle pattern edge the top and the hem. The look is graphic and strong, with the contrast between black and cream doing most of the work.

How big is it, and where does it fit?

It is an 11 inch wall lamp, large enough to hold a wall on its own. The bold black and cream pattern carries across a room, so it works on a living room wall, above a console or at the end of a corridor where it can be seen from a distance.

Do I need my own bulb holder?

Yes. The lamp comes without a bulb or bulb holder, so you will need your own fitting. It is the hand-painted, perforated leather piece itself, made by State Award-winning artist Raghavendra.

What material is used?

It is leather with Kalamkari hand-painting and perforation, worked on an iron frame. The craft uses goat hide and sheepskin and natural dye colours. Because the leather is translucent, light passes through it and the pierced pattern when the lamp is lit.

Is some wear normal?

Yes. A certain amount of wear and tear is unavoidable when leather is carved, painted and pierced by hand, and it is a sign of an authentic handmade piece. Colours may also show slight irregularities from the natural dyes.

Who made it?

Raghavendra, a State Award-winning artist from Nimmalakunta, Andhra Pradesh, handcrafted this lamp. He works with traditional tools, designing the pattern on leather, colouring it and then carving and perforating it by hand.
