Description

A small black crown shape sits at the top of this face, framed by diamond and floral motifs worked in warm orange and gold — a bold, tribal folk-art quality built from dense geometric patterning. The black dotted eye mask ties the crown detailing down into the face itself, keeping the whole design cohesive rather than segmented.

Theyyam draws on a wide visual vocabulary across North Malabar, Kerala, and this design leans into its geometric, folk-pattern roots. This head is hand-carved from solid wood and hand-painted by our studio artisans, with the crown shape, diamonds, and floral accents built up in careful layers rather than a single pass of colour.

At 13 inches, it's compact enough for a bookshelf or study desk while still carrying real visual density up close. It's a fitting gift for someone drawn to the more graphic, pattern-forward side of Kerala's folk and ritual art traditions.

Material: Solid Wood, hand-carved and hand-painted.

Dimension: Head: 8 inches x 4 inches x 4 inches.
                    Full dimension with base: 12 inches x 5 inches x 5 inches.
