Turquoise Lippan Mirror Kutch Mud and Glass

Lippan Kaam in Kutch, Gujarat was never meant for indoors, it was the art form that lived on the exterior walls of bhungas, the round mud homes of the Rabari and Mutwa communities. Considered auspicious. Made by women. A practice of ornamentation as protection. This turquoise mirror brings that logic inside.

Made in Kutch, Gujarat by artisans working in the Lippan Kaam tradition, this handmade mirror frame is built from clay pressed into geometric patterns by hand, with mirrors embedded before the surface sets. The turquoise pigment is warm and deeper in person than it photographs, it reads as something between a muted teal and a faded sky.

A bathroom. A narrow entry. A wall beside a window. The mirrors that ring the handcrafted frame catch light and fracture it in small ways throughout the day. This is not a mirror you glance at and ignore.
