What is Gond art?
Gond is a traditional tribal art form, particularly practiced by the Gond people of Madhya Pradesh, India. The art is characterized by intricate and vibrant patterns depicting nature, animals, and daily life, often created using fine lines and dots. The drawings reflects the rich traditions and beliefs of the community, and are a visual narrative of their connection with nature, folklore, and spirituality. This art form not only preserves indigenous stories, but also provides a source of livelihood for Gond artists, contributing to the cultural sustainability of the community.
We are honoured to be a part of this magnificent artform.

The Fresco throw is suitable for day-time lounging. However, it is not a replacement for a blanket.
How should I wash this throw?
Since this is a hand crafted piece, we request you to be gentle when washing it. We recommend a gentle bucket wash with cold water, and very gentle detergent, with absolutely no bleach or abrasives.
