Description
Theyyam, the centuries-old ritual performance art of Northern Malabar in Kerala, transforms its performers into living deities through elaborate face paint and headdress. This single Aranmula-shaped frame brings that transformation into close-up focus, with a vivid orange, yellow, and red ritual face filling the medallion, its expressive eyes rimmed in bold black.
Hand-painted onto the traditional Aranmula-inspired wooden silhouette and finished in a deep reddish-brown wood tone, the piece captures the intensity and fine detailing of Theyyam face paint in close-up, giving the small format real visual impact.
At 12 inches in height and 6.75 inches in width, it works well as a single accent piece in a study, hallway, or as part of a wall of Kerala-rooted art. It comes with a hook fitted to the back, ready to hang.
For NRI households, this is a genuine piece of one of Kerala's oldest living ritual traditions, rarely represented outside the region itself, making it a distinctive gift for someone drawn to India's lesser-known art forms.
Material: Pre-engineered Wood
Dimensions: Height 12 inches, Width 6.75 inches
