Chotu - Maharaja Sardar Singh of Bikaner - ca. 1860–70 v2 - STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

This design shows a seated ruler in a jewelled turban, painted as a vertical miniature with a robed attendant beside him.

Visual Elements & Composition

Saffron orange and golden yellow carry the image, set against charcoal black, slate grey and deep green. The vertical rectangle of the painting is framed by a yellow border, and a circular object sits within the scene. The ruler dominates the upper field with his jewelled turban, while the robed man holding a black sphere anchors the lower side. The rendering is a gouache miniature, with opaque colour laid in flat, precise passages.

Meaning & Symbolism

The composition follows the conventions of Rajput and Bikaner court painting, where the ruler's turban and jewels signal rank and where the attendant figure marks the court around him. The work is catalogued under the name Maharaja Sardar Singh of Bikaner and dates to about 1860–70, a period in which Bikaner's rulers held real political standing in Rajasthan. The gold and saffron tones reflect the royal palette of the era, and the portrait stands as a record of a specific ruler from that lineage.

Sticker Outline, Image Intact

A kiss-cut sticker is cut to the outline of its artwork, so the frame, the turban and the figures of the painting define the shape you receive. The image reads as a single, self-contained object, which suits a miniature painted to be held and studied close. Placed on a journal, a laptop or a notebook cover, it keeps the court portrait at the scale a miniature was made to be viewed.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
