Coasters set of 2 - Kalighat Pat Cats

This set of 2 coasters will brighten up and save your tabletop. A conversation starter the coasters can be mixed and matched with others from our large collection.

Migrant patuas, or scroll painters, converged around Kalighat temple in Kolkata early in the 18th century to give rise to a new school. For over a hundred years the pilgrims offered a ready market for the pats. A majority of the Kalighat pats treated religious and traditional subjects, but the introduction of secular themes is of great interest now.
