18" Apsara Cow Head - Kerala Mural Wooden Wall Art

Painted in a serene, deep blue, this narrow cow head carries a celestial figure along the length of its muzzle, rendered in the fine linework associated with Kerala mural and Pattachitra traditions. The cow itself draws on the symbolism of Kamadhenu, the wish-fulfilling divine cow of Indian mythology associated with abundance and nourishment — a gentler, quieter presence than a bull's, reflected here in the cool, contemplative palette.

The design nods to Kerala's Oachira Cattle Festival, where painted and decorated cattle are paraded as offerings, translated here into a wall-mountable sculptural form rather than a literal festival object. The blue tone and detailed figure work are built for spaces that need calm rather than a bold visual statement — a meditation corner, a reading nook, a bedroom wall.

Hand-carved and hand-painted on solid mango wood, it arrives with detachable ears fitted at the time of wall mounting, and a hook at the back for easy hanging.

Material: Hand-carved and hand-painted mango wood
Dimensions: 18 inches height, 10.5 inches width without ears
