Paperblanks Taj Mahal Flowers, Agra Mini Journal - Lined

Taj Mahal Flowers

The Paperblanks Agra design is named for Agra, India, where the Taj Mahal is located. It reproduces a Gérard Degeorge photograph of one of the Taj Mahal’s iconic marble flowers. To carve into marble is to commit to perfection. Any mistake meant the whole slab had to be discarded. Each of these marbled flowers is its own masterwork.

In the ivory-white marbled walls of India’s most emblematic monument, the Taj Mahal lie these beautifully carved floral designs.

Photographed by Gérard Degeorge, these unique marble carvings capture the breathtaking construction and exquisiteness of one of the world’s greatest structures, the Taj Mahal.

Intriguing in its unique nature, the Taj Mahal is adorned both inside and out with these marbled flowers. Special in their specific colours and form, the decorations are incrustations of precious or semiprecious stones according to the technique known as “pietra dura,” a Florentine practice consisting of inlaid stones in a stone background.

In Islamic culture, flowers are often seen as symbols of Paradise; the Kingdom of God.

To carve into marble is to commit to perfection. Any mistake meant the whole stone slab had to be discarded. In reproducing one of Gérard Degeorge’s photographs of the famous monument, this cover celebrates these precious marble masterpieces. This Agra design takes its name from the home of the emblematic structure in Agra, India.
