Description
Bring the beauty of Indian classical dance into your home with this Kondapalli dancing doll. 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.
This doll is carved by hand from Tella Poniki, a soft and light wood, and painted by hand by skilled artisans. It shows a graceful lady in the style of a Mohiniyattam dancer, the classical dance of Kerala, standing in an elegant pose with her hands joined at her waist and her head tilted gently.
She wears a white and yellow costume with yellow stripes, a round pleated fan at the front and a yellow border with a green design at the bottom. Her blouse has a yellow necklace with green dots, and her arms have green sleeves and white bangles with red dots. Her hair is tied in a side bun decorated with white jasmine flowers, and she wears a nethi chutti, a bindi and pink earrings. The smooth shiny finish makes the colours look bright and fresh. As each doll is handmade and hand painted, the colour and design may vary slightly.
This dancing doll adds grace and art to any golu padi or showcase and is a lovely gift for dance and art lovers.
