Description

Intrinsic to Bengal’s handicrafts culture are the carved wooden panels seen in temples and domestic shrines. The Sutradhar crafts folk of Kalna, Burdwan for generations have been traditionally carving blocks of mango and other wood into interesting shapes & figurines. Known for their characteristic style & symbolic colours, goddesses, mythological figures and animals have often been represented in this simple yet uniquely expressive folk style.

Artisans are creating articles of day-to-day household use with this carved wood. This Wooden Owl Stick is a perfect example for an unique but aesthetic traditional home decor item.
