The appliqué works of Pipipi or Patachitras and Papier Mache masks of Puri: silver filigree jewellery and golden grass mats of Cuttack or 'Katki' and Ikkat sarees of Cuttack and Sambalpur or Dhokra and clay toys of Mayurabhanj and Barapali and Lacquer work of Nawrangpur or Horn work of Parlakhemundi or the flexible brasss fish of Ganjam, each handicraft esudes a charm and originality of its own and pristine beauty that remained untouched by time.
