Description

Long before Madhubani art reached galleries, it lived on the mud walls of homes in Bihar's Mithila region, painted by women during weddings and festivals to invite good fortune. The fish, or maach, is one of its oldest and most auspicious symbols, standing for fertility, abundance, and a household that never runs dry.

Here, that motif is hand-painted onto solid mango wood in the fine double-line outlines and dense natural patterning that define Madhubani work, filled in with the bold, earthy palette the style is loved for. The tray is sealed for everyday use, so the art can double as function, whether that's holding your morning chai or sitting on a console as a standalone piece.

It's a natural fit for a housewarming gift, a wedding return favour, or a small piece of Bihar for a Mithila family settled abroad.

Material: Solid Mango Wood, hand-painted and sealed

Dimensions: 35 cm x 23 cm x 6 cm
Frequently Asked Questions

Is the fish motif specific to a region or community?
Yes, this comes from the Madhubani (Mithila) tradition of Bihar, where fish motifs have been painted for centuries as symbols of fertility and prosperity, traditionally used in wedding and festival art.

Is the tray safe to use with food?
Yes, the surface is sealed with a food-safe finish, suitable for dry snacks, fruit, or as a serving base. We'd avoid prolonged contact with liquids or very hot dishes directly on the paint.

How should I clean it day to day?
A soft, dry or barely damp cloth is all it needs. Skip the dishwasher, running water, and any abrasive scrubbing, which can dull the hand-painted finish over time.

Will my tray look exactly like the one in the pictures?
It will be close in composition and palette, but since an artist paints each one by hand, small differences in line work and shading are normal and expected.

Is this a good gift for someone who isn't familiar with Indian art?
Absolutely. The motif is graphic and easy to appreciate even without prior context, and we're always happy to share a short note on the Madhubani tradition if you'd like to include one with the gift.

Can it be hung or displayed instead of used functionally?
Yes, plenty of customers prop it upright on a plate stand or use it purely as tabletop art rather than for serving.

What's the best way to store it if I'm not using it daily?
Keep it flat or upright in a dry spot out of direct sunlight, which helps the painted colours stay vivid for longer.
