Description:
This exquisite artwork, The National Flag of Maldives on Real Thin-Tailed Sheepskin, honors the deep history and symbolism of the Maldives’ national flag. Carefully crafted by renowned art Alhaz GK Mushahid after 5 years of dedicated research and he discovered the innovative technique of hand-painting on sheepskin for the first time in the world of art. This masterpiece is the result of years of research and dedication, capturing the essence of the Maldivian identity.
The flag of the Republic of Maldives, officially adopted on July 25, 1965, features a red field with a green rectangle in the center, containing a white crescent moon. Each element of the flag holds significant meaning:
- Red symbolizes the blood of Maldivian heroes who sacrificed their lives for the nation.
- Green represents peace, prosperity, and the natural beauty of the islands.
- White Crescent Moon embodies Islam, the guiding faith of the Maldivian people.
Painted on genuine thin-tailed sheepskin using a unique and durable color technique, this piece merges history with artistic craftsmanship. The flag’s evolution dates back centuries, with earlier versions featuring a plain red field (1117–1796) and a black-and-white striped hoist (Dhandimathi) before adopting its modern form upon Maldives’ independence from the United Kingdom in 1965.
A perfect addition to any collection, this one-of-a-kind artwork celebrates Maldives' cultural heritage, independence, and national pride.
