Shipping calculated at checkout.
Description
This narrow tray is painted in the Warli tradition of Maharashtra, one of India's oldest tribal art forms, built almost entirely from simple triangles, circles, and stick-figure forms that the Warli community has used for centuries to depict community life, harvest, and celebration. The circular dance formation at its centre, figures linked hand to hand mid-movement, is one of Warli's most iconic and instantly recognisable scenes.
The design is decoupaged onto engineered wood and sealed, keeping Warli's minimal, rhythmic linework intact through daily handling. Its narrow shape suits a compact serving spread or works beautifully as a graphic accent piece.
It's a distinctive gift for anyone who loves minimal, rhythmic tribal art with real cultural roots.
Material: Medium Density Engineered Wood, decoupage-finished and sealed
Dimensions: 39 cm x 12 cm x 4 cm
