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.
It can be made by throwing paints of different colours in layers, up to about four colours.
Then the top and bottom parts of the box and the lid were covered by the leather to protect the Battal artwork. The 22 carat gold is used to draw a circular line around the leather.
Materials:
- Natural plant-based dyes on a cardboard
- 22 Carat Gold
