| Indian art and craftsmanship is known worldwide. Stone handicrafts
of India, especially those done on marble and soap stone (also known
as sand stone) are famous all over the world. Indian art is imported
and treasured all over because of its implicit beauty and perfection.
Since historic times, stone has been the preferred medium for displaying
art and emotions. The art of stone work is very evident, for example,
in the eye captivating temples of South India, and in the richly carved
beautiful work of the caves of Aganta and Ellora. These massive, but
breath taking monuments depict and reflect the ingenuity and talent
of the craftsmen. Stone carving and decorating is not only limited to temples, caves and sculptures of gods and goddesses. It portrays the life and rituals of the complex and diverse Indian society. Stone handicrafts bring to life the Indian culture and the crafters use their sophistication to display these colors of life in their handiwork with stone. Delightful soapstone carving jewelry boxes are carved in assorted shapes and sizes. These soap stone boxes are further decorated with intricate and colorful stone inlay work. Beautiful soapstone carving and stone inlay work done in semi-precious gem stones is similar to the floral patterns seen in the rich heritage of the Indian Mughal art.
