Seku Design : What is Seku Desing
Seku is a traditional Newari craftsmanship technique that involves the use of thin metal wire, typically copper or silver, to create intricate patterns on various objects. The word "Seku" is derived from the Newari language, and is commonly used to refer to this type of craftsmanship. This technique is a prominent aspect of Newari art and has been passed down through generations of artisans.
The process of creating Seku designs involves carefully shaping and molding the metal wire into various patterns. This can include simple geometric shapes or more complex, detailed designs. The wire is then carefully placed onto the surface of the object, where it is secured in place. The final result is a beautiful and intricate design that showcases the skill and precision of the artisan.
Seku craftsmanship can be found on a variety of different objects, including traditional Newari jewelry, home decor, and even architectural elements. The technique is often used to add decorative touches to objects that are already rich in cultural significance, such as statues of deities and other religious artifacts. The intricate and detailed nature of the craftsmanship makes it highly valued and respected within the Newari community, and it continues to be an important aspect of their cultural heritage.
