Metallic Teal & Beaded Silver: Mosaic Sequin Textures in Alluvial Clay
Integrating shimmering metallic overlays with miniature hand-dotted mixed media art. 🏺✨💚 This Handmade Small Green Terracotta Diya with a Silver Rim showcases the fine hand-painting and delicate sequin setting work kept alive by traditional pottery artisans across North India. Sculpted entirely out of natural alluvial riverbed sand soil (Baalu Mitti), its compact teardrop geometry directly references historical clay oil vessels unburied across ancient Indus Valley Civilization sites like Harappa and Mohenjo-daro (circa 3300 BCE – 1300 BCE). Design & Craftsmanship Architecture: * The Core Basin: A small circular reservoir coated in a brilliant, high-luster metallic green teal layer that reflects ambient light beautifully. * The Sequin Intaglio: The center of the basin features a miniature, circular silver sequin surrounded by a hand-painted ring of eight white dots in a symmetrical floral starburst motif. * The Border Framework: A slightly raised structural outer rim painted in gleaming metallic silver, showing a subtle hand-applied beaded pattern texture. * Dimensions & Utility: Measures approx. 5 cm in diameter (6 cm long overall) and 2.5 cm high. Built with a heavy flat-bottom base that holds liquid oil fuels cleanly, drops in standard wax tealights seamlessly, or securely holds small pillar candles. 🔗 Explore the handcrafted festive collection at Store Utsav.
