WOODEN JALI CUT BIRDS:  We always envy birds for their flying ability. Feathers are what makes the birds different from all other animals. They help birds fly, keep them warm and give them a beauty that exceeds all other animals, and we are fascinated by them.

This pair of Jali cut birds on a branch are handmade with Kadamba wood also known as white wood. This bird and the wooden stem is carved from a single piece of wood. The design of carving is called Jali cutting. The Jali cutting is quite complex and is a process of removing the wood inside the figurine leaving behind the intricately interconnected design. This Jali cut bird is carved with a baby inside and it is quite artistic and aesthetic. This bird is finely carved by giving careful attention to minute details by highly skilled and experienced artists in India.

We offer a variety of arts, crafts and, toys that are handmade using naturally available vegetable dyes called Lacquer dyes. The art of making these crafts and toys is centuries old and the tradition is passed on through generations within the families.
