Description
Tribhanga, literally "three bends," is the name given in Indian classical dance and sculpture to a graceful counter-pose of the body. This wall plate takes its name from that tradition, showing an Apsara with her torso turned and one shoulder raised as she holds a lotus bud aloft — a gesture that carries the same sense of poise associated with the Tribhanga stance.
Her complexion is painted in a soft olive-green, a departure from the golds and blues seen elsewhere in the collection, set against an ornate crown and jewellery picked out in fine black linework. Hand-painted on solid Mango wood, the piece uses the layered, jewel-toned palette characteristic of Kerala's temple murals.
Painted on solid Mango wood and sized at 10 inches in diameter, it arrives with a hook fitted to the back, ready to hang. It's particularly suited to anyone with a personal connection to Indian classical dance, or simply drawn to the more dynamic of the mural poses.
For NRI households, this piece carries a specific, recognisable piece of Indian art vocabulary, making it a thoughtful gift for dancers, art collectors, or anyone furnishing a home with pieces that hold real cultural meaning.
Material: Mango Wood
Dimensions: 10 inches diameter
