Description
Bring home a lovely piece of Indian tradition with these Kondapalli couple dolls. Kondapalli toys are made in Kondapalli village near Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh. This 400-year-old craft has a GI tag (Geographical Indication), which means it is a special, original art from that region.
These dolls are carved by hand from Tella Poniki, a soft and light wood found in the local hills, and then painted by hand by skilled artisans. This set has two cute round-bodied dolls, a wife and a husband, standing side by side.
The wife doll has a bright yellow body, black hair with a white bead design, a red bindi, earrings and a red necklace with white dots. The husband doll has a rich red body, a red turban, a black moustache, a red tilak and a matching necklace. Their round body shape and smiling faces make them look sweet and charming. As each doll is handmade and hand painted, the colour and design may vary slightly.
Couple dolls are a must-have in every Navaratri golu. They stand for a happy married life and togetherness, and are also a lovely gift for newly married couples.
