Behind the Object

The Object & Its Story

A small brass figurine that draws on the architectural forms of South Indian temples — the stepped tower (gopuram), the pillared hall, the seated deity. It is not a replica of any specific temple but a synthesis of the vocabulary: layered, vertical, ornate in its upper portion and solid at its base. Cast using the lost-wax method, filed by hand, and given a satin finish. It works as a shelf object, a bookend, or a devotional piece. Currently out of stock — a new batch is in production and expected within 4–6 weeks.
