Product Description
Hand dyed batik wall art from Nepal, measuring approximately 17" wide x 13-1/4" tall. Nepal Leprosy Trust helps those who have suffered from leprosy or are disadvantaged in other ways. In Nepal, those afflicted with leprosy are ostracized and regarded as unclean. Little known to many, leprosy is curable. They are often left with nerve damage in their fingers, but the disease is gone. However, the stigma remains, so they have little hope of earning an income. NLT not only provides fair wages, but also offers medical benefits and educational opportunities they would otherwise not have access to. This wall art is made to order using a batik process on cotton fabric, a time consuming artistry which requires multiple steps of dying and waxing. The art will be rolled up for shipment. Simply unroll and lay flat and art will easily flatten out again. We suggest framing with a colorful matting that coordinates with the colors in the design along with a simple black frame as that will make the batik pop.
