Botanical Geometry & Gold Shading: Leaf Motifs in Alluvial Clay Craft
Exploring natural textures with metallic washes and traditional line outlines. πΊπβ¨
This set of Handmade Green Leaf Terracotta Diyas displays the organic sculpting and fine line painting practices kept alive by traditional pottery families across North India. Molded out of natural alluvial riverbed clay sand soil (Baalu Mitti), their leaf-like teardrop profile shares a historical link with the oldest oil vessels found at Indus Valley Civilization sites like Harappa and Mohenjo-daro (circa 3300 BCE β 1300 BCE).
