A cow bends gently towards her calf in this tender scene of care and companionship. Painted against Cheriyal’s characteristic red ground, the decorative details and bold outlines give the piece warmth and character.

Cheriyal is a traditional storytelling craft from Telangana, once used by travelling storytellers to bring folklore, sacred tales and scenes of daily life to their audiences. This wall plate is made from reclaimed mango wood and painted entirely by hand by a National Award-winning Cheriyal master craftsperson.
