2 Pcs Peacock Colored Green Indian Ethnic Meena Kundan Kada Bracelet Bangles Cuff
These Twin Peacock Design Indian bangles bracelets(called as kada) comes with fine enamel painting, popularly known as Meenakari work.
Meenakari is the art of colorings or decorating a metal surface with eamel. In the past enameling was only done on gold, but presently it is done other metals like silver, copper etc
The art of decorating metal with enameling or Meenakari was was introduced to India by the Mughals. Raja Man Singh of Amber brought Meenakari to Rajasthan at the turn of the 16th century. Man Singh brought skillful minakars from the Mughal palace at Lahore and established them in Jaipur, which became the center of Meenakari.
The technique of Meenakari requires a high degree of skill and application. The piece of metal on which meenakari is to be done is fixed on a lac stick. Delicate designs of flowers, birds, fish etc are etched or engraved on it. This leads to the creation of walls or grooves, to hold color. Enamel dust of required color is then poured into the grooves and each color is fired individually. The heat of the furnace melts the color and the colored liquid gets spread equally into the groove. This process is repeated with each color.
Meenakari or Enameling is done 100% by hands.
