Whether you have a traditional Indian home or a modern fusion apartment, this decorative plate adds a touch of ethnic elegance that stands out immediately.

We believe that wall decor should be soulful. Unlike mass-produced prints, this piece feels personal and handcrafted. The Pichwai Elephant Wall Plate is not just a decoration; it is a piece of art that celebrates the timeless beauty of Rajasthani culture.

Visual Design of the Pichwai Elephant Wall Plate

The beauty of this plate lies in its traditional aesthetics. The central focus is the decorated elephant, painted in bold blacks and greys with a blue saddle cloth, set against a bright yellow background featuring a subtle white lattice pattern. This contrast makes the image pop.

The border creates a perfect frame. It features a black rim adorned with gold floral motifs, giving the Pichwai Elephant Wall Plate a finished, premium look. The circular shape represents wholeness and infinity, softening the sharp lines of modern furniture.

This art style originates from the backdrop paintings of Lord Shrinathji. You can learn more about this heritage in this guide on Pichhwai paintings.

Material Quality of the Pichwai Elephant Wall Plate

To ensure the artwork lasts for generations, we use a high-quality base. The plate is crafted from durable Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF), providing a smooth surface for the artwork. This ensures that the Pichwai Elephant Wall Plate remains sturdy and does not crack over time.

The colors are protected to stay vibrant. We use high-quality paints and a protective varnish coating. This seals the artwork, making it moisture-resistant and dust-proof. The bright yellow and deep black tones of the Pichwai Elephant Wall Plate will remain fresh and glossy for years.

The finish is smooth and refined. The edges are perfectly rounded, and the back is finished neatly to ensure it sits flush against your wall. This attention to detail makes the product feel premium in hand.
