Delicate embroidered lokta paper lampshade. Handmade lokta paper is made from the fibrous inner bark of the bush named Daphne Papyrus, which only grows at an altitude of 6500ft or above in the Himalayas. Every single sheet of paper is handmade by a cupful of lokta pulp being added to wooden/mesh frames. Once the pulp has been hand circulated, the frame is gently lifted to ensure even distribution, ensuring amazing accuracy can be achieved by the skilled artisan. We contribute a % of all purchases we make from Nepal to Child Rescue Nepal. 29 x 29cm Made for Namaste on a Fair Trade basis in Nepal.
