Decorative-Meenakari painting (10″ x 10″)

Description

Decorative-Meenakari painting is called miniature of fire as well as the decoration of metal and tile with mina glaze. Minakari or Enamelling is the art of painting, colouring and ornamenting the surface of metals by fusing over it brilliant colours. These are decorated in an intricate design.

Mina is the feminine form of the Persian word Minoo meaning heaven. Mina refers to the azure colour of heaven. The Iranian craftsmen of the Sassanid era invented this art and the Mongols brought it to India.

The art of decorating metal with Enamelling or Meenakari was alien to India and was introduced by the Mughals. Raja Man Singh of Amber (Jaipur) brought Meenakari to Rajasthan at the turn of the 16th century. Man Singh brought skilful Minakars from the Mughal palace at Lahore and established them in Jaipur, which became the centre of Meenakari.
