Papier-mâché is a traditional craft that has been practiced in India for hundreds of years. The word "papier-mâché" is French and means "mashed paper.". It is a decorative art form that originated in Persia and was introduced to India in the 14th century.
The process of making papier-mâché involves soaking paper in water for several days, draining the paper, and mixing it with cloth, rice straw, and copper sulphate to create a pulp. Placing the mixture on a mould and allowing it to dry for two to three days, coating the surface with glue and gypsum, rubbing the surface smooth with a stone or baked clay, and applying layers of tissue paper, sanding or burnishing the piece, and applying several coats of lacquer paint.
Papier-mâché masks are used to decorate living spaces and drapery to add dramatic character on stage.
