Red Marbled Box
This Kubur (marbled box) is designed and produced for the purpose of keeping artworks or papers from folding and creasing.
The outside of box is made by gluing Battal marbling on the cardboard. Battal marbling is the name of the first and most important form, which is the basis of all forms of marbling art.
In this form, where the paints remain as they are poured from the brush, the artist has no further touch. The elements that determine the mastery and beauty of this technique are the balanced brush strokes and colour harmony, which will ensure that the paints fall on the surface in equal intervals and sizes.
