Handpainted Tea Set -Tapri Glasses Kathputli Horse
The theme of this set is Kathputli Horse On this art piece I have expressed ‘Kathputli’ which means a puppet. It is derived from word Kath- meaning wood and Putli- meaning doll. However these puppets are made from wood, cotton cloth and metal wire. Tradition of Kathputli is based on folk tales and stories based on social welfare themes. This horse puppet dance known as ‘Kacchi-Ghodi’ is being performed since ancient times and is still an eternal part of Indian Rajasthani culture and tradition. The main elements of this lively entertainment are swords and men on dummy horses. Both wearing the beautiful and colourful traditional attire with embellishments, embroidery and mirror work with folk music and dance performed by tribal folks. Piece measures 5.5 inches x 8.5 inches, Capacity 150 ml Washing Advise: Gentle wash with mild detergent recommended. Do not scrub. Use: My glasses are meant for serving purpose and a good Home décor.
