Madhubani Fish Tissue Box - Multicolour Handcrafted Folk Art
Description
At a traditional Mithila wedding, a pair of fish is often part of the ritual gifts exchanged between families, a small offering meant to bless the couple with prosperity and a fruitful new beginning. That symbolism has kept the fish one of the most enduring motifs in Madhubani painting, the centuries-old folk art tradition of Bihar practised largely by the region's women artists.
Here, the fish appears in a vivid multicolour palette, every scale and fin filled with the fine linework that leaves no surface untouched — a hallmark of Madhubani's dense, detailed style. The motif is applied through decoupage artistry and sealed under a protective clear coat, keeping the vibrant colour and intricate patterning intact through daily use.
Its lively palette brings a festive energy to a dining table or living room, and its rooted symbolism of prosperity makes it a considered gift for weddings, housewarmings, or any occasion marking a fresh start.
Material: Medium density engineered wood, with decoupage paper, set under a clear coat sealant.
Dimension: 23 cm x 12.8 cm x 7.7 cm
