Maharao Shatru Sal II Hunting a Tiger - Kiss-Cut Sticker Design

This design captures a dramatic 19th-century Kota school miniature depicting Maharao Shatru Sal II of Bundi mounted atop an elephant, mid-pursuit of a tiger in a dense, stylized forest.

Composition and Visual Rhythm

The scene is defined by the verticality of the elephant and its regal rider, juxtaposed against the chaotic, organic sprawl of the jungle. Muted earth tones and vibrant, saturated pigments typical of the Rajput tradition create a sense of formal intensity. The tiger, rendered with an aggressive, predatory posture, provides a sharp focal point that draws the eye across the frame, while the intricate patterns of the elephant’s trappings and the Maharao’s courtly attire add a layer of dense, rhythmic detail to the composition.

Historical Significance

Representing the peak of Kota royal portraiture, this artwork illustrates the intersection of traditional Mughal-influenced technique and the specific territorial pride of the Bundi state. The hunt serves as a visual metaphor for royal authority and martial prowess, positioning the Maharao as the master of the wilderness. The meticulous rendering of the flora and the beast reflects a broader cultural preoccupation with nature as both a source of danger and a theatre for demonstrating sovereign power.

On the Kiss-Cut Sticker

Because this design is cut precisely to the silhouette of the hunt, it sheds the traditional rectangular constraints of a painting. The irregular edges of the sticker mirror the tangled branches of the depicted forest, allowing the scene to bleed into the background of your laptop or journal. The expansive, detailed composition commands attention even at this smaller scale, turning the historical drama into a portable, sharp-edged emblem of classic Indian artistry.

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.
