Handcrafted Marble Craft Decorative Plate Curio - Gannu Bhaiya. A resplendent rendition of Lord Ganehsa handpainted on a marble plate in meenakari aesthetics. Meenakari, the ancient art of enameling on metal, flourished in the royal courts of Rajasthan and Persia, where it adorned palaces, temples, and jewels with radiant brilliance. Crafted on gold, silver, or copper, artisans fuse powdered glass with fire to create intricate motifs in jewel-like colors that never fade. Once reserved for thrones, jewelry, and ritual objects, the craft today extends to brass, wood, and other contemporary surfaces—yet retains its timeless aura, each piece a luminous confluence of artistry, patience, and heritage.

Marble Craft
Crafting beautiful artifacts and items of utility from Marble has been a skill coming down the centuries, the greatest evidence of which is stunningly visible in the Taj Mahal and other Mughal monuments of the time as well as at the Jain temples in the north and western parts of India. Of these, marble inlay craft is one of the oldest forms of craft from Uttar Pradesh. First a predefined pattern, like a floral or geometrical design is engraved on the marble slab. After this, small pieces of marble of different shades are cut delicately to precisely fit and are slipped into these grooves. Apart from marble, other stones are also used to adorn the marble inlay spaces. The origins of Inlay work can be traced back to Italy around the end of the 16th century. The craft known as "Pietra Dura" translates to 'hard' (dura) and 'stone' (pietra). This beautiful craft found its way to the resplendent Mughal courts of the Emperors in faraway India.
