Item Description
By Gariba Singh Tekam
This original piece is a traditional tribal style called Gond art, by the Gond tribals of Madhya Pradesh. The Gond tribe is considered among the largest tribe of Central India.
The Gonds paint local flora, fauna and gods. Traditionally made on festive occasions, Gond paintings depict man’s relationship with nature. The artists use natural colors derived from charcoal, colored soil, plant sap, leaves, and cow dung. This mystical art form is created by putting together dots and lines. The imaginative use of the line imparts a sense of movement to the still images. The paintings are an offering in worship of nature, and are also a mode of seeking protection and warding off evil.
The purchase of this item can feed a rescued leopard for two months!
