Charcoal Wall Art

Charcoal — 14 museum-grade prints in this palette. Kalighat Pat grew up in 19th-century Kolkata, painted by migrant patua (chitrakar) scroll-painters who settled near the Kalighat Kali temple and sold quick watercolour souvenirs to pilgrims. Working on mill-made paper with a bold single black brush outline and soft 'boneless' shaded strokes on a plain ground, they painted gods and goddesses alongside what is often called India's first modern social satire — sharp, affectionate caricatures of the colonial 'babu' and the hypocrisies of Calcutta life. PIAT (WWII, United Kingdom) — no rocket backblast; used in confined spaces; heavy spring-cocking system.

Owen Gun (WWII, Australia) — Australian jungle-war weapon; top magazine for reliability; distinctive vertical magazine silhouette.
