Perfect gift. It can be placed in your hall, bedroom, study room, office table etc. It is purely hand made with wood by the skilled artesian. The showpiece is not a kit and comes fully assembled. Size 10x18x3 cm. About the origin of the showpiece, the village community halls also known as Chandimantaps, which were the centers of rural culture had the best of pillars, brackets beam etc. made out of beautifully carved wood. Some of the Chandimantaps can be seen at Atpur and Sripur-Balagarh in the Hooghly district and also in Ula-Balagarh in Nadia district. The examples of wood carving of West Bengal can best be seen in the wooden images of village temples. Some domestic shrines are also made of wood and beautifully carved. Carved figures in classical tradition though simple are very expressive. The style is folk and the subject includes folk gods, goddess and figures. The wood from Bel and neem is used for carving and the figures are then painted with colors.
