Description

Kerala's temple murals, painted for centuries on stone and wood in rich reds, ochres, and greens, often turned to the celestial apsara as a subject, graceful, ornamented, and rendered with the same fluid linework found in the region's classical dance traditions. This narrow tray brings that mural style to a slim, everyday format.

The design is decoupaged onto engineered wood and sealed, keeping the mural's characteristic detailing intact through daily handling. Its narrow shape suits a compact serving spread or a graceful accent piece on a shelf.

It's an elegant gift for anyone drawn to Kerala's temple art heritage or classical Indian dance and mythology.

Material: Medium Density Engineered Wood, decoupage-finished and sealed

Dimensions: 39 cm x 12 cm x 4 cm
