About the Artwork +

Tarkashi art maestro Mohan Lal Sharma engraves a floral design amidst the art piece surrounded by intertwined geometric circles forming a circular design, with oval shapes between each circle, and detailed with paisley shapes, along with paisley shapes placed at the corners of a square box in his artwork. The floral design, geometric circles, and paisley shapes hold specific cultural meanings. For example, in Indian culture, the paisley motif is associated with fertility and prosperity, while geometric patterns are common in Islamic art and represent mathematical perfection. The combination of floral and geometric elements can represent a harmonious balance between nature and order. Tarkashi artwork is known for its intricate and visually appealing designs. This blend of elements, along with the placement of paisley shapes, is simply intended to create a visually stunning and captivating piece of art.

    Tarkashi Craft


    Tarkashi, also known as metal wire inlay or brass wire inlay, is an ancient art form that originated in India. This intricate craft involves embedding fine metal wires, typically brass or copper, into the surface of wood to create ornate patterns and designs. The result is a stunning visual contrast between the metal and the wood, making Tarkashi a popular decorative technique in furniture, musical instruments, and other wooden artifacts.  History and Tradition While the exact origin of Tarkashi is unclear, it is believed that it was practiced in regions known for their woodworking and metalworking traditions. The craft flourished during the Mughal era, with artisans incorporating intricate metal inlay designs into wooden structures, doors, and furniture, often for royal courts and aristocratic households.  The designs often draw inspiration from traditional Indian motifs, such as floral patterns, geometric shapes, and religious symbols. Religious and spiritual themes, with designs depicting Hindu deities, or religious narratives can also be seen in Tarkashi craft. Technique The technique of Tarkashi requires a high level of skill and meticulous attention to detail. The artisans begin by sketching the desired design on the seasoned wooden surface then shallow grooves are carved along the lines of the pattern using specialized tools like chisel and hammer. Brass or copper wires are carefully hammered gently into the wood following the contour of the design. After the metal wires are inlaid, the wooden surface is smoothed and polished to create a seamless finish.  FAQs Is Tarkashi only used for decorative purposes? While Tarkashi is primarily used for decorative purposes, the intricate metal inlay also adds durability and strength to wooden objects. However, the main appeal lies in its aesthetic beauty and the visual intricacy of the designs. How long does it take to create a Tarkashi piece? The time required to create a Tarkashi piece varies depending on the complexity of the design and the size of the item. Simple designs may take a few days, while more intricate pieces can take several weeks to complete. Can I learn Tarkashi? Yes, learning Tarkashi requires dedication to mastering the techniques of wood carving and metal inlay. MeMeraki offers workshops or apprenticeships where you can learn the basics of this intricate art form.
