For so many of us, it carries memories of home, of quiet prayers and wishes held close to the heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith Ibaadat, we imagined this familiar form with a little bit of Kashmir in its soul. Channapatna’s turned wood meets the delicate Naqqashi of Kashmir, bringing together two craft traditions with Persian connections that have found a home, and their own beautiful expression, in India.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerhaps that is what drew us to the name Ibaadat, meaning worship or devotion. The thought that something can travel so far and still belong. That different hands, traditions and beliefs can come together to create something we hold sacred.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDIMENSIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLarge - 5” base dia X 13 “ height \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE CRAFT ~\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Art of Naqqashi\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis involves hand-painting intricate designs on papier-mâché or metal, often followed by enamel finishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrushes of Reeds\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtisans traditionally make their brushes from reed twigs and cat hair for delicate strokes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStories in Miniature\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigns often include hunting scenes, gardens, birds and Mughal-inspired floral vines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGlobal Collectors’ Craft\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKashmiri enamel and Naqqashi items are prized worldwide, found in museums and royal collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMotifs of Paradise\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; background: white;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSince most of the motifs are derived from the local landscapes, popular designs and motifs include the ‘Hazara’ or design of a thousand flowers, featuring roses, hyacinth, irises, etc; ‘Chinar’  (leaves or drawings of the chinar tree); ‘Sarav’ (cypress shrub); ‘Zambuk’ (a type of grass); “Gul-e-wilayat’, or the flowers of foreign lands.\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Cambria',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: #222222; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDIMENSIONS -\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e9.5 cm dia x 60 cm height\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCARE INSTRUCTIONS \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease clean once inside with a clean piece of cloth before using it.
