Madhubani Peacock Hand Mirror - Hand-Painted Wooden Mirror

In the villages of Mithila, in Bihar, women have painted the walls and floors of their homes for centuries — not as art for its own sake, but as prayer, celebration, and inheritance passed from mother to daughter. Every wedding, every harvest, every birth found its way onto a wall in bold outlines and jewel-toned fills. The peacock was, and remains, the most cherished figure in this vocabulary: a symbol of the monsoon's arrival, of courtship and marital joy, of beauty that announces itself without apology. This hand mirror carries that same peacock into a shape you can hold — a circular wooden mirror where the bird spreads its plumage against a field of stylised flora, painted entirely by hand in the unmistakable double-line, fish-eyed style of Madhubani art.

Each mirror begins as raw medium-density engineered wood, shaped into a circular form with a slender handle, then painted freehand by our artists using the same fine-lined technique practised in the Mithila region for generations — no stencils, no printed transfers. The finished piece is sealed in a clear coat that protects the brushwork while keeping every stroke visible.

Because it's compact enough to slip into a handbag or clutch and striking enough to hold its own on a dresser, it works equally well as a personal indulgence or a gift. It's a popular choice for Diwali hampers, housewarming visits, and return gifts where you want something that feels considered rather than convenient — and for NRI buyers, it's an easy way to send a genuine piece of Bihar's folk art tradition abroad without shipping something fragile or oversized.
