Round Bowl with Colored Base

Making complex processes look emphatically simple has been a hallmark of traditional hand-made art forms. Creating stunning work of art in the absence of modern technology can surely awe. But for centuries artisans have lent expression to many such art forms. Golden Grass made art forms remain as unique and rare as any other.
This type of grass mostly grows in swampy areas and as these dry, turns golden in color, hence the epithet 'Golden Grass'. Being sturdy and flexible, these lend different shapes. For generations artisans have been creating colorful items using golden grass for decorative and regular usage in the state of Odisha. Women artisans are the ones who have made sure that this centuries old art form doesn't get lost in the course of time. Different types of boxes, table mats, coasters, trays, hats remain the most popular items and depending upon the intricacy of the work, products can take up to a month to finish.
Note: In all its grandeur this can be custom made i.e. hand painted / crafted exclusively for you in a size of your choice to suit your needs.
