Jamini Roy Narrow Tray – Handcrafted Bengal Art
Description
Jamini Roy broke away from the academic realism of colonial-era Indian art schools and turned instead to the bold, flat forms of Bengal's own folk and scroll-painting traditions, thick outlines, simplified faces, and an earthy palette drawn from village craft rather than European technique. This narrow tray channels that distinctly Bengali visual language onto a slim, everyday format.
The design is decoupaged onto engineered wood and sealed, keeping the bold, graphic linework intact through daily handling. Its narrow shape suits a compact serving spread or a striking accent piece on a shelf.
It's a fitting gift for anyone who appreciates Bengal's folk-modernist art movement or bold, graphic Indian design.
Material: Medium Density Engineered Wood, decoupage-finished and sealed
Dimensions: 39 cm x 12 cm x 4 cm
