The fish, a recurring motif in Madhubani, traditionally symbolise fertility, prosperity, and good fortune, while peacocks embody beauty, regality, and renewal. The central Tree of Life, a universal emblem, intricately rendered with its flourishing branches and roots, signifies the profound connection between earth and sky, growth, and the cycle of creation. This classical composition showcases the signature Madhubani aesthetic, with its characteristically dense infill and dynamic interplay of natural elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePoonam Devi, hailing from the famed village of Madhubani in Bihar, demonstrates profound skill in this one of a kind original work executed on handmade paper. The Madhubani, or Mithila, painting tradition originated in the same region, where women historically adorned freshly plastered mud walls and floors with intricate designs for significant life events like weddings and festivals. From the 1960s, this vibrant folk art transitioned to paper, retaining its distinctive visual language. Hallmarks such as double-line borders, stylized almond eyes, and motifs like the sun, moon, lotus, and serpents are ever-present, alongside the dense filling techniques that leave no space empty, often employing either the bold colour fills of the bharni style or the fine line and cross-hatching of kachni.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis magnificent work is an original, not a print, meticulously handcrafted by Poonam Devi. It is presented as a singular expression of her artistic vision and the enduring legacy of Madhubani art. Each painting from our collection ships with a signed Certificate of Authenticity, guaranteeing its provenance and originality. We are pleased to offer complimentary insured delivery across India for this exceptional piece.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Exoticindia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48427951489282,"sku":"DO48","price":8400.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0820\/7230\/5922\/files\/do48.webp?v=1788373767","url":"https:\/\/karm108.com\/products\/fish-pair-in-pond-and-peacock-pair-with-tree-of-life","provider":"Karm 108","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
