Its amazing what craftsmenship you'll find in the Indian brasswork ... interestingly here are some birds ... that I was very fascinated with ...
... some with very intricate work ... some part of traditional diyas (indian oil lamps) ... and some with no ornamentation at all ...
... this pigeaon was adorable ... the chest and the body very carefully crafted ...
... many of us are fascinated with the traditional diyas ... may be next time you may take a closer look at the birds crafted alongside ...
...the plume and the tail ... of this peacock was probably what caught my eye ... also interesting were the different pedestal styes for the birds are perched on ...
... this was not a great picture but I had to share it never the less ... unlike all the other birds ... this parrot was so devoid of all intricate carvings ... more realistic ... and yet very much Indian ...
... guess, with the festival season coming on in real soon ... the traditional craft is definately the flavour of the season ...
... well ,I for one always find beautiful treasures come pouring out ... come Diwali ... oh! all that brass sure makes the heart crave for Diwali to come sooner ...
I sure do hope you found something that intrigued you ... may be interested you a lil' bit ... may be got you nostalgic about old collections of mums' ... Do tell me what you thought of this collection of traditional Indian brass birds ... :)
