A completely unique metal Tiger curio hand painted with original Gond art all over its form in interesting designs and patterns. Gond painting is an intricate art form that always stand out or its stark appeal. Gond tribal art originated as symbols of good fortune on the walls of the Gond dwellings. The Gond Tribal community is one of central India's largest indigenous communities and their art is an expression of their everyday quest for life. One of the distinctive elements is the use of ‘signature patterns’ that is used to ‘infill’ the larger forms on the canvas. These infill patterns are distinctive identifying marks used by the Gond artists and every Gond painter has developed his or her own signature style. The technique of fine lines, dots and dashes echoes the aboriginal art of Australia.

Meenakari Art
Meenakari is the art of coloring and ornamenting the surface of metals by fusing over it brilliant colors that are decorated in an intricate design. The Mughals invented the art of enamel or meenawork metal-craft and it was popular with both the Mughals and the Hindu princes of Rajasthan. Gold has been used traditionally for Meenakari Jewellery as it holds the enamel better, lasts longer and its luster brings out the colors of the enamels. Silver, a later introduction, is used for artifacts like boxes, bowls, spoons, and art pieces while Copper which is used for handicraft products was introduced recently. The traditional process starts with the designer, moves on to the goldsmith, the engraver who engraves the design, the enamelist who applies the colour , the polisher, the stone-setter and the stringer, all of whom are ingredients of an important chain of craftsmen that create the finished product..
