Gond Art Hand Painted Tray Table. Gond Tribal Art originated as symbols of good fortune on the walls of the Gond dwellings.The subject matter extends from myths and folklores to images of daily 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.
