This attractive metallic hanging lamp features the splendid Jali cut design. It is the art of carving ornamental patterns using calligraphy and geometry on materials like metal and marble. A Jali, meaning net, is a perforated stone or latticed screen used as an architectural decoration usually found in Indo-Islamic architecture. Jalis were built as decor but they served the purpose of increasing airflow within the house and maintaining a cool temperature. The patterns are drawn on the metal and then carved by hand using handheld carving tools but advancements in techniques have allowed carving pattern a tad easier with the use of laser cutting. Regardless of this, Jali cutting by hand remains a form of artistic expression, even today.
