Traditional Bastar Musician Showpiece – Wooden Tribal Craft

Bring your home the beauty of Baster with our handcrafted musician showpiece! The ancient Bastar tribal art of Chhattisgarh, India, served as the inspiration for this wonderfully hand-carved hardwood musician’s showcase. A celebration of the rich musical culture of the tribal group, the sculpture represents a couple wearing traditional clothing and headpieces. One of them holds a dholak, or drum, while the other is musically accompanying. Fine details in the instrument, clothing, jewelry, and facial features—all carved from a single block of wood by talented artisans—capture movement and expression in the artwork.

The exquisite shapes and forms of Bastar Wooden Craft reflect the local mythology, traditions, religion, and culture. The finish’s specific raw quality enhances the product’s rustic appeal. One of the most famous, beautiful, and distinctive types of wooden carving has been practiced by the tribal people of Bastar district, Chhattisgarh, since the tenth century A.D. It includes the art of carving a variety of Bastar cultural images in addition to other fascinating designs. Because patterns utilized in the Bastar wooden craft are very similar to those seen in the Indus Valley Civilization, there is an uninterrupted lineage of the craft form.
