Q728

Which painting style of Jharkhand is associated with the Sgraffito technique of Greece?

A.
Sohrai
B.
Kohbar
Answer
C.
Jadupatua
D.
Munda

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
Kohbar art is practised by the women of the farming community depicting the marriage season. They are generally carried out in the walls of the bridal chamber and the walls of the wedding house. Designs are cut with fingers exposing black patterns on white or with bits of combs. Over an undercoat of black earth a layer of wet Dudhi mitti or cream coloured earth is painted. This technique of comb cutting is similar to the ‘Sgraffito‘ technique of Greece and the incised pottery technique found in Iran and the Indus valley. These paintings are considered to bring good luck.
