Door Curtain

A Tibetan door curtain is a decorative textile that is hung over a door or doorway as a form of decoration in Tibetan culture. The door curtains are typically made from cotton or polyester fabric and feature intricate patchwork or embroidery designs.
One of the most common designs found on Tibetan door curtains is the endless knot, which is a symbol of eternity and interconnectedness. The ashtamangal, or eight auspicious symbols, is another popular design element found on Tibetan door curtains. These symbols represent good fortune and are often associated with Buddhism.

The door curtains may also feature other design elements, such as floral patterns, animal motifs, or geometric shapes. These designs are often created using patchwork techniques, in which different pieces of fabric are sewn together to create a larger design.

In addition to the design work, Tibetan door curtains may also feature decorative embellishments such as tassels, beads, or fringe. These embellishments add texture and visual interest to the curtain.

Cochin, which refers to a type of embroidery technique, may also be used on Tibetan door curtains. Cochin embroidery involves creating raised designs using a needle and thread, and it is often used to create intricate floral patterns or other decorative elements.

Overall, Tibetan door curtains are beautiful and intricate pieces of textile art that reflect the rich cultural heritage of Tibet. They are often used to add color and decoration to homes, monasteries, and other sacred spaces.

Centuries-Old Lost-Wax Metal Casting

Each sculpture at Handmade Handicraft is crafted using the ancient cire-perdue (lost-wax) technique, a craft perfected over a millennium by the Newar artisans of Patan. The process begins with sculpting beeswax and Himalayan tree resin by hand. A multi-layered clay mold is formed around the wax, which is melted away in the furnace, creating a void that is filled with molten red copper or bronze.
