Lippan art, also called mud-and-mirror work, is a handcrafted decorative art tradition associated with Kutch, Gujarat. It is known for raised mud forms, mirror inlay and geometric, floral and nature-inspired designs that create textured wall décor.
What Is Lippan Art?
Lippan work uses a prepared surface decorated with shaped material and small mirrors. Contemporary artworks can vary in materials, construction and finishing, so the individual product description is the best source for the exact specifications of a piece.
Common Lippan Designs
Geometric patterns, mandala-inspired compositions, flowers, leaves, paisley forms and other decorative motifs are commonly used in Lippan-style wall art. Designs and interpretations vary between makers.
