Kerala Mural Peacock Tray Black & Red – Handcrafted Wooden
Description
Alongside its warmer ochres and yellows, Kerala's temple mural tradition has also long worked in deep reds set against black, a bolder, more dramatic combination reserved for figures meant to command attention on a temple wall. This peacock, rendered in that striking red palette, carries the mural style's dense ornamental detailing with a more intense visual presence.
The design is decoupaged onto engineered wood and sealed, holding the mural's fine detailing through daily handling. Its narrow shape suits a compact serving spread or a bold accent piece on a shelf.
It's a striking gift for anyone who prefers deeper, more dramatic tones alongside their appreciation for Kerala's temple art heritage.
