Description
Two peacocks face each other at the centre of a riot of colour, their tails dissolving into swirling, symmetrical patterns that fill the entire plate — a design rooted in Tholu Bommalata, the shadow puppetry tradition of Andhra Pradesh. Traditionally, Tholu Bommalata puppets were made from painted leather and lit from behind to tell epic stories in village performances, and that same bold, high-contrast visual language carries through here in paint.
Where much of Indian folk art uses the peacock as a single decorative motif, this piece leans into the swirling, ornamental patterning that defines Tholu Bommalata specifically — layered spirals in red, green, blue, and gold radiating outward from a central medallion, with the paired peacocks anchoring the bottom of the composition. It's a maximalist, high-energy piece by design.
This plate suits collectors of India's regional folk art traditions and anyone wanting a wall piece with real graphic punch — a statement addition to a gallery wall, and a memorable gift for someone who loves bold colour and pattern.
