Ladies Bag

Metal lady's bags with stone settings are a traditional form of Nepali handicrafts that has been around for centuries. These bags are typically made of high-quality metals such as brass, copper, or silver, and are often adorned with colorful stones or gems.
The design of these bags can vary depending on the region and the cultural traditions of the area. Some bags are simple and understated, with a smooth, polished surface and a single-stone setting. Others are more elaborate, featuring intricate designs and multiple stone settings.
The stones used in Nepali metal ladies bags can also vary, with popular choices including rubies, sapphires, emeralds, and diamonds. In addition to their decorative function, these stones may also hold spiritual or symbolic significance within Nepali culture.

Metal ladies bags with stone settings are often used for special occasions such as weddings, religious ceremonies, or cultural festivals. They are also considered to be valuable and long-lasting investments, and may be passed down as family heirlooms from generation to generation.

Today, metal ladies bags with stone settings are still produced by skilled Nepali artisans, and are sold in Nepali markets as well as exported to other countries. They are not only functional and stylish accessories, but also represent the rich cultural heritage of Nepal.

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.

24K Mercury Gilding

Applied with pure gold leaf and fused using fire gilding for an ethereal sheen that endures for generations.

Cold-Gold Face Painting

The sacred facial features and serene gaze of deities are carefully rendered with powdered cold gold and natural pigments.

Hand-Chiseled Detailing

Intricate robes, mandalas, and jewels are carved by hand with miniature steel chisels and devotion.
