Mihrab - Green (Wall-Hanging) by Lladró
Mihrab - Green (Wall-Hanging) by Lladró
The refined, ornamental language of the Arabs inspired this Lladró High Porcelain limited edition, weighted with profound meaning. Luster technology and meticulous craftsmanship enhance the refined filigree design of this spiritual symbol. This richly embellished creation responds to the Islamic tradition of richly decorating the mihrab, the most significant part of the mosque, which indicates the direction of Mecca and therefore, the prayers of the faithful. On a technical level it stands out for its use of luster, an extremely laborious and expensive traditional decorative technique requiring the expertise of the most experienced artists. The dark background of the frame helps highlight this ornamentation, which draws complex arabesques, creating a combination of great beauty. Its presentation in a frame in the style of a window does not just enhance its beauty, but also intensifies its message.
