About the Item
Hand-Painted Wooden Box – Stylized Bird Form – Folk Art from Rajasthan, India – 1970s–1990s
Description:
This is a hand-carved and hand-painted wooden box in the form of a stylized bird, most likely a swan, goose, or simplified peacock, crafted in the spirit of folk art from Rajasthan, India. With its expressive silhouette and vivid, decorative surface, this piece functions both as a decorative sculpture and a functional storage box.
Main Features:
Zoomorphic shape, representing a bird in profile with an arched neck and turned head
Hand-sculpted wood, painted in layers and patinated by age
Color palette:
Light ivory-toned body, with visible wear and charming imperfections
Anise green and red-orange scaled wings, outlined in dark brown
Fine black and red details on the eye and beak
The wings are decorated with individual scale-like motifs, painted one by one. Chevron lines and vivid color accents evoke feathers, movement, and rhythm.
At the top of the bird’s back, a metal hinge opens to reveal a storage compartment, making this piece ideal as a jewelry box, spice box, or offering container.
Cultural Context:
This style is typical of traditional Rajasthani crafts, where everyday items often take animal forms and are richly ornamented. The expressive gaze, the painted textures, and the vivid color scheme are hallmarks of tribal and village arts from northern India.
Estimated Date:
Handmade between the 1970s and 1990s.
Keywords: folk art box, Rajasthani handicraft, hand-painted bird box, Indian wooden sculpture, stylized animal box, spice box India, tribal art décor, zoomorphic folk art.
This piece is a delightful fusion of utility and artistic expression, equally at home in bohemian, eclectic, or world-inspired interiors.
