Product description
This set is two complementary Madhubani-style portrait paintings. One is a stacked-fish composition — a prosperity motif. The other is a sun face with a tree and fish — energy and life. Both use bold outlines, dense floral fill, and a red inner border on handmade paper.
Each piece is presented with a white mat, slim black frame, acrylic glazing, MDF back, and metal hanging hardware. Hang as a pair on a living-room, hallway, or office wall.
It is indoor decorative wall art, not a poster print and not a GI-authorised Madhubani painting claim. Wipe the frame with a dry cloth; keep the painted surface behind glazing dry.
Handmade production means slight variation in line work, pigment density, and border filling from set to set. That variation is expected.
Sourced in India and offered by Altus Exports as a finished retail set. Suitable as a housewarming or festival gift, a folk-art wall pair, or a cultural accent for hospitality.
What is in the box
- 2 handmade Madhubani-style framed paintings, approx. 48.0 × 23.0 cm each
- Protective inner packing for the pair
- Line work and pigment fill vary slightly from set to set.
- This is Madhubani-style painting, not claimed as a GI-authorised product.
The craft
The Story Behind Madhubani Painting
Madhubani painting — also called Mithila painting — is a folk art associated with the Mithila region of Bihar, especially Madhubani district. Artisans draw bold black outlines on handmade paper, then fill every space with natural colours, geometric borders, fish, sun, trees, and birds.
This export pair carries that language onto two ready-to-hang frames: a fish composition for prosperity, and a sun-and-tree composition for energy and life. Packed in India for international décor and gifting collections. It is Madhubani-style décor, not claimed as GI-authorised Madhubani painting.

What Buyers Say
How commercial buyers describe the handmade sample set.
“A pair reads as a collection, not a single souvenir print. The fish and sun stories are easy for floor staff to tell.”
— Importer, USA
“Customers stop for the colour, then stay for the line work. Forty-eight centimetres is a real wall presence without needing a huge stretch of wall.”
— Home Décor Retailer, UK
“Clear Mithila craft story without overclaiming GI. We hung it beside the Warli plates as a folk-art wall.”
— Museum Shop Buyer, France
“Right scale for a corridor or suite accent. Frames arrived intact with hanging hardware ready.”
— Hotels & Resorts Buyer, UAE
“Useful as a diptych — two motifs, one language. Slight variation in fill is exactly what you want in handmade painting.”
— Interior Designer, Australia
