Mandana Art: Handcrafted Puppet

One of the exclusive items of our Mandana Art collection is the Puppet Face, a bona fide tribute to the tribal men of India. This puppet face art piece is crafted with precision and showcases color palette with shades of red and brown. Its resemblance to the tribal men of India reflects both cultural significance and artistic finesse.
Mandana art is one of the oldest form of tribal art of India dominantly done by the Meena community in Rajasthan.
The making process of this remarkable art piece is a labor of love. The traditional paper maché technique is used, where newspapers are soaked in water for 2-3 days, then expertly mashed to obtain a fine powdered form. To strengthen the structure, Methi is blended into the paper pulp, resulting in a robust dough mixture that forms its foundation.
