Srinathji Hexagon Box - Hand-Painted Pichwai Wooden Box
Description
Shrinathji is Krishna as he is worshipped in Nathdwara, Rajasthan — depicted as a seven-year-old child-god with a distinctive raised left hand, watched over by generations of Pichwai painters who create the elaborate cloth backdrops hung behind his temple idol. This hexagonal box carries his likeness on its lid, bordered by lotus motifs, the flower most associated with his worship.
Pichwai painting relies on natural pigments applied in fine, patient detail, building up rich colour and pattern layer by layer. The hexagonal shape of this particular box is a departure from the more common square format, giving the composition a different frame to work within and a distinct silhouette on a shelf.
It makes a meaningful gift for festivals, housewarmings, or anyone drawn to devotional art with a strong regional identity, while doubling as a home for jewellery, keys or small everyday essentials.
The Pichwai artwork is hand-painted by our artists directly onto the wood surface before being sealed under a clear coat.
Material: Hand-painted Pichwai artwork on medium-density engineered wood, clear-coat sealant
Dimensions: 12.5cm x 14.5cm x 7cm
