| Abstract: |
Filigree refers
to laces like decoration using gold or silver wire. It is ideal for arabesque
designs. One of the necessary steps in making
filigree is the forming of the wire. It is made by twisting very tightly two
pieces of very small silver wire and then flattened. Country-seeds, feathers, leaves, fruits,
flowers, animal bones, claws and teeth have been used in early India to
fashion ornaments. Even today such ornaments are popular in tribal societies.
In India, filigree work of
Karimnagar, Orissa, Srinagar,
etc. are known for their intricate designs and artistic work. The paper
describes the filigree work of Karimnagar and some of the filigree objects
housed in the Salar Jung Museum,
Hyderabad.
