'''Hisam-ud-din Usta''' (1910 – 1987) was a popular artist born in the erstwhile [[Bikaner State]] (present-day [[Rajasthan]], India). Hisam-ud-din was the last formally trained painter in the Bikaner School style/tradition and became a celebrated artisan in the media of Naqqashi and Manoti. Manoti is an embossed medium where gold is layered with painted floral patterns using translucent and opaque oil and watercolours on bronze, wood, gold, silver, plaster of paris, and camel leather. Naqqashi has the same methods as Manoti in its application but the gold is unembossed. These media are proprietary methods practiced only by Usta artisans of Bikaner.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.patrika.com/bikaner-news/usta-art-was-vibrant-nuances-of-bikaner-1257753/ |website=Patrika.com website|author=Shankar Sharma|date=3 April 2016|title=Highlights of the Usta art of Bikaner, which has come to life|access-date=5 March 2021}}</ref>
