Hand-painted in rich tones of fiery orange, golden yellow, crimson, and stark white, this piece serves as a striking focal accent for Global Eclectic, Boho, and Maximalist interior spaces. Designed for versatile placement, it creates an eye-catching statement on a gallery wall, styled within a bookcase niche, or hung as an entryway accent.\u003cbr\u003eCultural \u0026amp; Artistic Background\u003cbr\u003eDrawing upon rich South Asian folk art traditions of celestial iconography, this piece embodies the solar symbol representing vitality, warmth, and spiritual illumination. Crafted using traditional papier-mâché and hand-molded composite techniques, artisans built up the dimensional relief of the facial features before applying a fine gesso ground. The face is decorated with hand-brushed detailing, including arched brows, expressive almond eyes, crimson lips, and a traditional forehead symbol (tilak), framed by a beaded border that bridges the central face with radiating rays.\u003cbr\u003eCondition \u0026amp; Surface Character\u003cbr\u003eThe medallion remains structurally sound and intact with a firm, lightweight composite body. The hand-painted obverse retains strong pigment density with matte and satin finishes, displaying minimal, authentic micro-wear along the ray tips consistent with artisanal crafting. The reverse features a raw, textured plaster finish with subtle pinkish undertones from workshop preparation, fitted with a secure twisted twine hanging loop ready for display.\u003cbr\u003eDimensions \u0026amp; Weight\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 6.2 inches\u003cbr\u003eWidth\/Diameter: 5.8 inches\u003cbr\u003eDepth: 1.2 inches\u003cbr\u003eWeight Profile: Light\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Belle Afrik Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60049591140638,"sku":"BA-0423","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1081\/5176\/7326\/files\/il_fullxfull.8450911460_augn.jpg?v=1790371555","url":"https:\/\/belleafrikarts.com\/products\/hand-painted-sunburst-celestial-wall-plaque-folk-art-sun-medallion-accent-6-2","provider":"Belle Afrik Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
