Description

Watching a Kalamkari artist at work is watching patience made visible — a bamboo pen dipped in natural dye, drawing a peacock's feathers one fine line at a time, no two strokes quite identical. This rectangular wooden box is hand-painted directly with that same peacock motif, rather than reproduced through print or transfer, so the brushwork itself is part of what you're bringing home.

Kalamkari's roots lie in Andhra Pradesh, where the technique developed over centuries using pens fashioned from bamboo or date palm and dyes drawn from indigo, madder root and other natural sources — a slow process that still resists full mechanisation even today.

Its rectangular shape gives the peacock motif more horizontal space to unfurl than a compact square format allows, making it a strong choice for anyone who wants the artwork itself to be the focal point. It's a considered gift for Diwali, a housewarming, or festive occasions, while remaining genuinely useful for jewellery, keys or small everyday items.

The artwork is hand-painted directly onto the box by our artists and finished with a clear-coat seal.

Material: Hand-painted Kalamkari-style artwork on medium-density engineered wood, clear-coat sealant

Dimensions: 9 inches x 6 inches x 3.5 inches
