Amber Wall Art

Amber — 2 museum-grade prints in this palette. Kalighat Pat grew up in 19th-century Kolkata, painted by patua (chitrakar) scroll-painters who settled near the Kalighat Kali temple and sold quick watercolours to pilgrims. Alongside gods and goddesses they produced what is often called India's first modern social satire — sharp, affectionate caricatures of the colonial 'babu' and the hypocrisies of Calcutta society. Luang Prabang served as the royal capital of the Kingdom of Lan Xang and remains Laos' spiritual heart, with Wat Xieng Thong among its oldest and most revered temples — famed for mosaic and gilded rooflines along the Mekong. The UNESCO-listed peninsula preserves wooden Lao houses and French colonial facades while the daily Tak Bat alms procession still threads the dawn streets.
