Panas

Nepal has a rich history of art and handicrafts, and these unique and creative crafts have become popular all around the world. Metal crafting is one of the most famous arts in Nepal, especially in the Newari community of the Kathmandu Valley. This art form has been passed down from generation to generation and the metal crafting skills of the Nepalese artisans are highly revered. One such example of Nepalese metal craft is the product "Panas."

Panas is a traditional brass oil lamp that has been handcrafted and hand-carved by some of the finest artisans in Nepal. This lamp has been used in the Newar community for centuries for various purposes such as lighting homes, temples, and for positive and successful endeavors during new business openings, events, or functions. Additionally, it is also used in ritual ceremonies in Nepal.

The brass oil lamp has an attractive design with intricate details that add elegance and charm to any Puja room or worship space. Panas can also be used as a decorative piece in hotels and other places. To use Panas, fill the lamp with oil and light the wick. Cleaning the lamp is simple, wipe the brass with a soft cloth regularly to keep it shining and if necessary, wash it with mild soap and water.

In conclusion, Panas is a unique piece of Nepalese metal craft that symbolizes the rich cultural heritage and artistry of the Nepalese people. This handcrafted brass oil lamp is not only functional but also adds a touch of beauty to any space.

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.
