Terracotta masks, toys and pottery are quite
common decoratives all over the India though the styles may differ. The
burnt clay Hangings have the intricate art work depicting the expertise
of the artists.

Gujarat's
Clay wall Hangings are unique pieces of art. Also called Leaper work"
or "mud work" it is ancient form of art from rural Gujarat.
The base usually is hardboard or some light wood. The patterns may be
geometric or animal and bird figures. Abstract human figures are also
made. They are usually made with the ceramic clay commonly available
there

though
mud may also be used. They are then colored and adorned with tiny
mirrors. The crafts men try to stick to the traditional themes and their
fast and precise fingers model the clay and stick it to the base. The
connoisseurs of art and interior decorators now get these made as per
their own dimensions to suit specific wall areas.
Terracotta work has similar patterns as the Gujarati clay wall Hangings
even they are adorns with mirrors etc. the only difference being that
rajasthani cly wall Hangings are burnt to form terracotta.
