Syaahi Bangalori Silk Multicolor Abstract Wall Hanging

What is the main motif on this hanging?

A bright yellow-green horse carrying riders, painted large on a black ground with flowers scattered around it. The horse fills much of the panel, so it has a bold, graphic look that stands out even from a distance.

What kind of border does it have?

A narrow floral band with pendant drops frames the black ground. Because the border is slim, the horse and riders take centre stage and the black ground does most of the framing.

Is the painting done by hand?

Yes. It is painted by hand on Bangalori silk at our Kalamkari unit in Mangalagiri by Master Artisan Jyothi. Look at the horse and the scattered flowers and you will see slight variations in each brushstroke, which is the sign of hand work.

Is each piece made to order?

Yes. These hangings are made to order, so yours will be freshly painted by hand after you order. Small differences from the picture are natural, as no two hand-painted pieces come out exactly the same.

How do the colours work against a wall?

The black ground is the strongest element here, so it looks best on a light wall, such as white, cream or pale grey. The yellow-green horse and the pink, blue and red flowers then stand out vividly.

Where in the home would it fit?

A horse with riders has energy and movement, so it suits a living room, a study or a hallway where it can catch the eye. It also works well in a child's room or a family space where a bright, story-like scene is welcome.
