How is Ram portrayed in the Majestic Ram?
Ram stands as a blue-skinned cut-out figure holding a bow, in a red jacket with a yellow scarf and pink striped leggings. His jewellery is picked out in dotted patterns, and black and gold lines define the details. The bright blue, red and yellow make him a cheerful, striking figure on the wall.
Is it really painted on leather?
Yes, it is painted on genuine leather. The design is drawn on the leather, coloured with natural dye colours, and then carved and holed by hand with traditional tools. That combination of painting and perforation is what gives the figure its lifelike, detailed finish.
What size options are there?
You can choose a height of 1 foot, 2 feet, or 5 feet, which is life-size. The smaller size suits a shelf, desk or child's room, the 2-foot fits a standard wall, and the life-size Ram makes a strong statement in an entrance or living room.
Why might I see small marks on it?
Some amount of wear and tear is unavoidable while crafting a piece by hand, as the leather is carved, holed and painted. These marks come with the process and attest to the piece's authenticity. Colours may also vary slightly from piece to piece.
Is it suitable as a gift?
Yes, it is a meaningful gift for anyone who collects or loves Indian folk art. It is handcrafted by State Award-winning artist Raghavendra of Nimmalakunta, Andhra Pradesh, in the ancient leather puppetry tradition of the region.
How does it look in a living space?
The blue and red figure brings a burst of colour to a plain wall, and suits a living room, a puja space, a corridor or a children's room where the story of Ram is told. On a white or cream wall the cut-out outline and dotted details show clearly from a distance.
