Jaipur in north-west India
is home to a beautiful craft which is more like the traditional sculpture
form. This is the thriving handicraft of cutting small figurines out of
semi-precious stones. Jades, Jaspers, Quartz, Crystals, Topazes, Labrodites,
Moonstones etc. miraculously transform themselves into beautiful Indian
mythological figures, animals and a host of other creations under the skillful
hands of master craftsmen who use only small chisels to carve.
IndianArtCircle brings
to you a fascinating collection of these eminently collectible artefacts
sourced directly from the craftsmen in Jaipur.
