Devi – Hand-painted Kalamkari Wooden Wall Plate festive home decor coasters and foliage woven together ratherA goddess in profile, rendered in the fine, flowing linework of Kalamkari an art form whose name literally means "pen work," historically drawn with a bamboo pen and natural dyes onto cloth and, here, translated onto wood. Set against a deep forest green background and ringed by a delicate border of hand painted leaves, this plate favours pure line and restrained colour over the dense ornamentation of more maximalist Indian folk styles.
