Description

This pair brings together two distinct figures from Kerala's Theyyam tradition: the smaller head depicts Daivathar, a broad term for protective, community-venerated deities, rendered here in deep red-orange with sunburst medallions across the face and a gold beaded arc curving across the upper lip. Beside it, the larger head depicts Nagakaali, the serpent goddess whose worship merges with reverence for Kali, marked by a silver crescent moon and the curling, serpentine linework associated with her iconography.

Theyyam festivals across North Malabar, Kerala regularly bring multiple deity figures into a shared ritual space, and this set reflects that same gathering of distinct presences rather than a single repeated design. Each head is individually hand-carved from solid wood and hand-painted by our studio artisans, with the detailing specific to each figure worked independently to preserve its own character. Both are mounted on individual stands finished in matching maroon with fine gold beading along the base.

Displayed together, the pair anchors a console or mantelpiece with genuine mythological and visual variety. It's a considered gift for a collector who wants two distinct, identifiable figures from Kerala's ritual tradition rather than a matched or mirrored pair.
