Description

This vibrant Kondapalli bomma is the finest exemplar of Indian handicraft. It offers a glimpse into the ancient art form of wood carving and toymaking that originated in the town of Kondapalli, Andhra Pradesh.

Over four hundred years ago, the tradition of handcrafted wooden toys thrived all across India. Taking pride in the familiar cultural themes that India poses, these skilful artisans have gained mastery over the art with the passing of decades.

Today, the craft of fashioning raw wood into artful toys is a growing trend in modern art.

With an excellent eye for detail, the Kondapalli artisan sculpts
the various onlookers of the wedding. The precision with which the artisan
carves out every single element adds to the final look of the masterpiece. The
handicraft is rendered with a vibrant Indian palette of reds, yellows and
greens, reminding one of the glorious association this nation has with
brightness.

This handcrafted curio is a befitting gift for ceremonies and
weddings. It adds that charming ethnic look to any interior, transforming the
meaning of the space.
