It is Vishnu's first avatar, the one who saved the world from the great flood, and a folk symbol of fertility, fluidity and abundance that Bihar's women have painted onto mud walls, sarees, and now, tabletops, for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn this clock, four fish swim nose to tail across a wash of green, their scales built up in fine cream linework the way Madhubani artists have always worked — one careful stroke at a time, until the whole surface seems to ripple like water. No two hand-painted pieces come out identical; the small variations are proof of the brush, not a flaw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand-painted on a wood panel and set on a matching wooden stand fitted with a working clock movement, this is a piece that tells time and carries Bihar's oldest living folk art with it — equally at home on a study desk, a console table, or wrapped up as a Diwali or housewarming gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArt form:\u003c\/strong\u003e Madhubani (Mithila) painting\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-painted wood panel, wooden stand, quartz clock movement\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6″ x 6″\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this clock hand-painted or printed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nEvery fish motif is hand-painted by our artists using fine brushes, following the traditional Madhubani line-and-fill technique.
