Description

Two faces, two scales, both rendered in the same warm orange-red palette with gold circular medallions and dotted black eye masks — a pairing built around scale contrast rather than colour contrast, with the larger head anchoring the smaller one beside it. Displayed together, they read less like matched twins and more like a senior and junior figure within the same ritual tradition.

Theyyam performances in North Malabar, Kerala often involve multiple deities appearing together during a single festival, and this set echoes that sense of a shared ritual space rather than a single isolated figure. Each head is individually hand-carved from solid wood and hand-painted by our studio artisans, with the medallion and dot-work detailing applied separately to each piece rather than mirrored from a single template.

At this scale, the pair makes a genuine statement across a console or mantelpiece, and works well as a significant gift for a serious collector of Kerala ritual art, or as a centrepiece for someone furnishing a home with a strong South Indian cultural through-line.

Material: Solid Wood, hand-carved and hand-painted.
