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. The beauty
of the soapstone box is further enhanced by combining floral designs
with hand chiseled net (or jail) work. These soap stone jewelry and/or
keepsake boxes adorn bed stands, dressing tables, desks and make a
beautiful and unique gift cherished by all.
Coaster sets carved out of soap stone and decorated with colorful
stone inlay work along with undercut animals carved out of a single
piece of soap stone are more examples of astounding pieces of flawless
workmanship. Each soap stone coaster set comes in a beautifully carved
and decorated coaster stand. Practical and beautiful, what else can
one ask for in a gift. Soapstone turtles, soapstone elephants and
soapstone peacocks with their miniature soapstone carving replica
