GoatLeather Artefacts:Translucent
and colourful artefacts and puppets are made from goatleather by a community
of Maharashtrian craftsmen who migrated to Andhra Pradesh. These are hand
painted with vegetable pigment. Earlier the basic end product was marketed
to the thriving tradition of puppetry, but nowadays, not only have the
puppets become more of collectibles, but also the main market has shifted
to lampshades and other such artefacts.
IAC presents a handpicked collection of these leather products to chose from. |
