Conceived in the environment of traditional bell metal casting master artisans of Payyanur, a small town, near Kannur, north of Kerala state, India. It was designed by me and developed during a Design Workshop conducted by me, objective being for the sustenance of traditional craft artisans of the region through product design diversification. It is made through the traditional lost wax process and cast in bell metal which is a combination of
mainly tin and copper.
Design of the form inspired from the traditional and ceremonial objects of India, I have attempted to create a timeless, characteristic and classical piece. The purity of its form and proportion is distinctly Indian. This product is being made by individual Bell metal master artisans on order basis and was also being retailed through various State Handicraft Exhibitions.
