Until the mid-19th century, the term Kashmir denoted only the Kashmir Valley between the Great Himalayas and the Pir Panjal Range. Today, it denotes a larger area that includes the Indian-administered territory of Jammu and Kashmir which includes the region of Jammu, Kashmir Valley, Ladakh and Siachen, the Pakistani-administered territories of Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan, and Chinese-administered territories of Aksai Chin and the Trans-Karakoram Tract. The vast cultural and ethnic diversity of Kashmir has enabled a variety of motifs, techniques and crafts to flourish on this land. The various handicrafts are in tune with its age-old splendid civilization, which has been perfected over centuries represented in lacquer, paper mache, carpets, shawls, and many other crafts.Size And Weight: See Last Photo If Applicable.
