Macrame Wall Hanging
Code : P13914

Country: India.
State: Assam.
Region: Primarily handcrafted in the rural clusters of the Brahmaputra Valley (districts like Barpeta, Nalbari, and Kamrup). 

Primary Fibre: Natural Cotton Twine or locally sourced Jute/Golden Fibre (Assam is a leading producer of high-quality jute).
Sustainability: 100% biodegradable, eco-friendly, and organic fibres.
Supporting Elements:
Driftwood or Bamboo: Hand-sanded bamboo poles or natural river-driftwood collected from the banks of the Brahmaputra.
Dyes: Often coloured using vegetable dyes or left in its raw, off-white Kora (unbleached) state.

Hybrid Craft: A unique fusion of Middle Eastern knotting techniques and Indigenous Assamese weaving patterns.
Durability: High tensile strength due to the use of thick, multi-ply cotton and jute cords.
Visual Texture: Features a signature matte finish that distinguishes it from synthetic, mass-produced versions. 

Nature-Centric: Designs often reflect the flora and fauna of the region (e.g., leaf motifs, bird-inspired patterns).
Bohemian-Ethnic: A blend of modern Boho-chic aesthetics with traditional tribal geometric structures.
Minimalist Earthiness: Focuses on neutral tones (beige, cream, tan) to bring a sense of Jungalow or tropical serenity to indoor spaces. 

Hand-Knotted: Completely tool-free; every piece is created using the artisans fingers, ensuring no two pieces are identical.
Intricate Symmetry: Expert use of the Square Knot, Spiral Knot, and Clove Hitch to create complex architectural layers.
Fringe Detail: Finished with hand-brushed, voluminous fringes or tassels that add movement and softness.
Inclusion of Local Accents: Frequently incorporates Brass beads or Terracotta charms from the traditional potters of Asharikandi. 

Mat-Weaving Legacy: Leverages the generational skills of Assamese Sital Pati (cool mat) and Dhara weavers, repurposing their precision for vertical wall art.
Community Craft: Often produced in Self-Help Groups (SHGs) by women artisans, representing a movement of rural empowerment and financial independence.
Symbolism: Patterns often subtly mimic the Pahar (mountains) and Luit (the river), paying homage to the landscape of the Northeast.
