18" Parrot Motif Cow Head - Hand-Painted Wall Art
Description
This tall, narrow take on the cow head trades a fuller face for the flat, elongated linework of Pattachitra art from Odisha, with a pair of parrots worked into the design in that tradition's distinctive style. Finished in a deep maroon, the piece keeps its horns close together, giving it a slim, upright silhouette.
Hand-carved from solid Mango wood, the piece still carries the Nandi bull's traditional symbolism of faith, luck, and honour, reinterpreted here through Pattachitra's storytelling visual language rather than Kerala's temple mural conventions.
At 18 inches in height, 2.5 inches wide without the ears, and 10.5 inches wide with the ears attached, its tall, slim shape suits a narrow wall space, a stairwell, or a gap between windows. The ears are detachable and fitted on separately once mounted.
For NRI households, this brings a specific Odisha art tradition into a familiar decorative form, making it a distinctive gift for a housewarming or for anyone building a varied wall of Indian craft.
Material: Hand Carved & Hand Painted on Mango Wood
Dimensions: 18" height, 2.5" width without ears, 10.5" width with ears
