Tholu Bommolatha Red Flower Narrow Tray – Handcrafted
Description
Tholu Bommalatha artists didn't only paint mythological figures for their shadow screens, they also filled the borders and backdrops of their leather puppets with bold floral motifs, the same graphic confidence carried here into a striking red flower rendered across a narrow tray.
The design is decoupaged onto engineered wood and sealed for daily use, holding its bold outlines and saturated colour through regular handling. Its slim shape makes it easy to tuck alongside other tableware or use as a standalone accent piece.
Its punchy floral motif suits anyone who wants a lively, graphic touch of Andhra's folk art tradition on their table.
Material: Medium Density Engineered Wood, decoupage-finished and sealed
Dimensions: 39 cm x 12 cm x 4 cm
