A beautiful and vibrant hand painted wall décor artifact, this vibrant, rustic painting will always be a statement piece. ‘Patua scroll painting’ is an art form native to West Bengal. Traditionally, Patua paintings originated as scrolls used as a story telling medium. These paintings are made on handmade paper, with a cloth backing. Normally, a Patua scrolls can range from 8 to 15 feet in length with vivid imagery of the story, mainly mythological or historical. Indigenous plants and minerals are still used to create the paint, including turmeric, vermillion, and burnt rice. Sap of the bel (wood-apple) fruit is used as mordant. As the scroll is rolled out, frame by frame, the artist narrates the story on the scroll through song, which typically lasts five to fifteen minutes. Patua scroll painters wander from village to village singing stories about pictures depicted in their scrolls and make a living.
