About
A ritual mural art painted directly onto mud house walls by tribal women using natural earth pigments and their fingers, comb-cut tools, or twigs rather than brushes.
Did you know? Sohrai Khovar artists paint almost entirely with their fingers and improvised tools like twigs or worn combs, actual paintbrushes are rarely used, giving the finished murals their distinctively textured, hand-worked look.
