Chitayi

Metal sheets, most commonly brass, are cut and beaten to create the form of desired object. The base and the body of the vessel are made separately and then soldered together. The soldered joints are beaten with a hammer and the surface is scraped.The object is frequently heated in the furnace to keep the metal soft; it is also repeatedly beaten with a mogri, wooden hammer, in order to remove all the dents on the surface. Widely used in Traditional Households, naqqashi objects are usually patterned with floral motifs.
