Description
In Indian folk poetry and painting, the parrot, or tota, has long carried a reputation as a messenger of love, a motif that shows up often in Madhubani wedding art from Bihar's Mithila region. Painted here with the fine double-outline and dense natural patterning that define the style, the parrots bring that same romantic symbolism to solid mango wood.
Our artists hand-paint each pair in Madhubani's signature earthy palette, then seal the tray for practical use, whether that's serving snacks to guests or letting the motif stand alone as tabletop art.
It makes a warm gift for a wedding, an anniversary, or anyone who'd appreciate a piece of Bihar's folk art tradition on their table.
Material: Solid Mango Wood, hand-painted and sealed
Dimensions: 35 cm x 23 cm x 6 cm
Frequently Asked Questions
What do the parrots in this Madhubani piece represent?
In Madhubani folk tradition from Bihar, parrots are a recurring motif associated with love and companionship, often featured in wedding-related art.
Is this tray safe for serving food?
Yes, the surface is sealed with a food-safe finish, suitable for dry snacks, fruit, or as a serving base. Avoid soaking it or resting very hot cookware directly on the paint.
How do I clean it without damaging the paintwork?
A soft, dry or barely damp cloth is enough. Please skip dishwashers, running water, and abrasive scrubbing.
Is every tray's parrot motif slightly different?
Yes, since it's hand-painted rather than printed, you can expect small natural variations in line work and colour intensity from piece to piece.
Would this make a good wedding gift?
Yes, the parrot motif's association with love makes it a particularly fitting choice for weddings, anniversaries, or engagement gifting.
Can I use it purely as a decorative piece?
Yes, it looks equally at home propped upright as art as it does in use as a serving tray.
How do I keep the colours from fading over time?
Keep it out of prolonged direct sunlight and stick to gentle, dry cleaning. This keeps the hand-painted pigment looking rich for years.
