{"product_id":"cheriyal-mukhauta-green-hand-painted-wall-bust-pair-medium","title":"Cheriyal Mukhauta — Green Hand-Painted Wall Bust Pair (Medium)","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eHand-moulded by a national award-winning Cheriyal artist from Telangana, this pair of decorative wall busts continues a tradition rooted in the Kakatiya and Vijayanagara dynasties. Cheriyal mask-making grew out of the same Nakashi artist lineage that once narrated the Mahabharata and Ramayana through painted scrolls — here, reimagined as a striking pair of folk faces for the home, set apart by their rich emerald-green finish, a distinctive variation within the Cheriyal palette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eEach bust is shaped using the ancient five-step Cheriyal process — moulding, drying, decorating, smoothing and hand-painting — from a mix of tamarind seed paste, rice starch, khadi cloth and white mud. The male figure wears a red-and-yellow dotted turban with sandalwood tilak markings and a bold moustache; the female figure is adorned with an ornate black-and-yellow patterned headdress, nose ring, bindi and delicate flower earrings — both finished against the deep green base in mustard, red, black and white detailing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eNo factories. No machines. Ever. Being entirely hand-painted, each face carries small natural variations — its own quiet signature of being made by hand. Designed with a hanging loop at the back, ready to mount as a striking pair on any gallery wall, hallway or shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"āsmi london","offers":[{"title":"5 inches each","offer_id":57727022137675,"sku":null,"price":65.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0825\/2620\/8331\/files\/edited-image-1_39.png?v=1782832845","url":"https:\/\/asmilondon.com\/products\/cheriyal-mukhauta-green-hand-painted-wall-bust-pair-medium","provider":"āsmi london","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
