Description
Tholu Bommalatha, the shadow-puppet tradition of Andhra Pradesh, once told entire epics through painted leather figures held up to a lit screen at night. That same bold outlining and flat, glowing colour carries over here, with a peacock rendered in the style's distinctive graphic detailing across a slim, narrow tray built for everyday table use.
The design is decoupaged onto engineered wood and sealed, giving it a durable finish that holds its colour and line detail through regular handling. Its narrow shape makes it easy to slot alongside cups, condiments, or a small snack spread without taking up much table space.
It's a graceful little piece for anyone drawn to Andhra's shadow-puppet heritage, and travels well as a small, thoughtful gift.
Material: Medium Density Engineered Wood, decoupage-finished and sealed
Dimensions: 39 cm x 12 cm x 4 cm
