Through a harmonious blend of natural, un-dyed and deeply toned willow reeds, the installation showcases a diverse repertoire of geometric motifs, radial symmetry and intricate weaving techniques.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWillow wicker weaving is a celebrated heritage craft native to the Kashmir Valley, where fine, pliable shoots of the willow tree (Salix) are harvested, boiled, peeled and hand-woven. In this installation, the natural aesthetic of the wood is emphasized, utilizing varying shades from pale cream and warm caramel to rich chestnut brown and dark charcoal to build sophisticated graphic contrast.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ensemble functions as a cohesive visual gallery across five distinct circular canvases. The largest piece in the set (top left) features a dense, uniformly woven structure in a deep chestnut brown, anchored at the center by a traditional raised, cross-hatched diamond medallion. To its right, a captivating tri-color pinwheel design that swirls dark charcoal, pale blonde and warm brown reeds into a sweeping, fluid motion around a light central core.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the bottom right is a multi-ring disc defined by radiating spokes, where pale natural reeds contrast with warm brown structural ribs to create a striking wheel-like effect. A smaller, high-contrast medallion right at the top, in the middle, features alternating wedge patterns of dark charcoal and pale natural willow, evoking a bold geometric star. A delicate, smaller disc rendered in light cream-colored wicker, encircled by a warm brown perimeter that grounds its soft, uniform weave is placed at the bottom left.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach disc is framed with a sturdy, multi-strand outer rim of tightly bound willow rods. These smooth, rounded borders preserve the structural geometry of each piece, providing a refined, clean finish that unifies the diverse patterns into a striking wall display.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gulshana Akhter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49898399531222,"sku":null,"price":5000.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1194\/1498\/files\/1._Five_Woven_Discs_in_Willow_Wicker_Craft_by_Gulshana_Akhter.jpg?v=1785411360","url":"https:\/\/www.memeraki.com\/products\/five-woven-discs-in-willow-wicker-craft-by-gulshana-akhter","provider":"Memeraki Retail and Tech Pvt Ltd.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
