Hand-Carved Stone Oil Warmer and Tealight Diffuser – Jaipur | 402g
Two functions in one hand-carved stone object: essential oil diffuser and tealight holder.

Elephant Tealight Holder in Antique Gold – Raised Trunk, 164g | 200mm
The raised trunk is not incidental — in Indian tradition, a raised-trunk elephant actively bestows good fortune rather than simply representing it. This antique gold metal elephant holds a tealight and casts warm light across whatever surface it shares. 164g, 200mm tall: a considered small object for a desk, shelf or dining table. One piece. What You're Getting 200mm height × 140mm length × 50mm width — tall and slender. Works on narrow shelves and side tables. 164g — lighter than the solid brass elephants. This is a tealight holder, not a sculpture — the form is optimised for the candlelight function. Raised trunk — the traditional posture of active blessing in Indian iconography. Antique gold finish — warm tone that enhances rather than competes with candlelight. Floral detailing — visible at close range on the elephant's body. Before You Buy Returns: 14 days from delivery. Unused, in original packaging. Return postage is at your cost. Delivery: Ships from Sydney in 3–5 business days. Free shipping on orders over $150. Stock: One piece available. Individually selected.

Handcrafted Solid Brass Annam Peacock Bell Diya – Traditional South Indian Oil Lamp
Traditional in form and finely detailed, the Handcrafted Solid Brass Annam Peacock Bell Diya brings together an ornamental bird motif, a shallow oil bowl and a suspended brass bell in one distinctive tabletop lamp. Made for lighting during Diwali and pooja, it is equally suited to display as a small sculptural accent in the home. The design rises from a circular brass foot into a curved, engraved support. A small annam-style bird sits near the top, while a single bell hangs from the projecting arm opposite the oil bowl. The open spaces and scrolling details make the silhouette striking from several angles. Traditional Annam-Inspired Bird Form The bird-shaped ornament is a familiar feature of South Indian decorative design. Here it forms the uppermost detail of the sweeping support rather than sitting directly on the bowl. The curved framework, shallow dish, patterned base and suspended bell give the piece its distinctive character. Made from solid brass, this diya has visible engraved detailing and the warm, slightly varied tone associated with a handcrafted object. Its openwork profile also allows the bell and the bowl to remain clearly visible. Oil or Ghee Diya for Diwali and Pooja The projecting bowl can hold a small amount of oil or ghee with a suitable cotton wick for traditional lamp lighting. Position the wick at the bowl rim so the flame remains clear of the decorative support and hanging bell. Never leave a lit diya unattended, and allow the brass to cool before handling. Use it as part of Diwali arrangements, daily pooja or a simple festive tabletop setting. The attached hanging bell is an ornamental feature that adds movement and interest to the composition. Pooja and Contemporary Home Styling At 18 cm high, the diya is compact enough for a pooja shelf, buffet, console or sideboard. Arrange it with fresh flowers or other brass pieces for festive occasions, or display it on its own when unlit. Always use a stable, heat-resistant surface when lighting the bowl. Decorative Presence for the Home Even without a flame, the slender curving form, peacock-style bird motif and single hanging bell give this brass lamp a strong decorative presence. Its open silhouette suits both traditionally furnished rooms and pared-back contemporary interiors. Dimensions & Specifications Handcrafted Solid Brass Annam Peacock Bell DiyaSingle standing brass oil lamp with an ornamental bird motif and hanging bell. SKU: BRS-15 Dimensions: 18 cm high × 14 cm wide × 6.5 cm deep Weight: 540 g Material: Solid brass Quantity: 1 diya Functional use: Oil or ghee diya for Diwali and pooja Decorative use: Tabletop, buffet, console or shelf display Design origin: South Indian Handcrafted Character Small variations in polish, brass tone, surface texture and engraved detailing are part of the individual character of handcrafted pieces.

Handcrafted Brass Peacock Spoon Diya – Oil Lamp for Pooja & Diwali
Handcrafted in solid brass, this Peacock Spoon Diya combines a shallow oil-lamp bowl with an elongated sculptural form and detailed peacock motif. Designed for oil or ghee use, it works as a functional diya for Diwali and pooja while also serving as a distinctive decorative object for the home. The piece measures approximately 50 mm high, 110 mm wide and 190 mm deep. Its low, elongated profile places the diya bowl at one end of an ornate brass base, with the peacock-inspired handle and decorative casting extending across the length of the piece. Peacock-Inspired Spoon Form The design is defined by its elongated spoon-like silhouette and visible peacock motif. Detailed cast decoration runs across the base and handle, giving the diya a strong sculptural presence from both side and overhead views. The supplied product information identifies the piece as South Indian in origin. Its decorative form is suited to festive, pooja and home-display settings without requiring a large footprint. Oil or Ghee Diya The shallow brass bowl is designed to hold oil or ghee with a cotton wick positioned at the genuine pouring or wick edge. It can be lit for Diwali, pooja and other appropriate home observances. When not in use as a lamp, the detailed brass form can remain on display as a tabletop decorative object. Pooja, Diwali & Home Use The elongated shape works well on a pooja shelf, tabletop, sideboard or buffet where the full peacock form can be viewed. Its compact height also makes it suitable for lower shelves and layered festive arrangements. For contemporary interiors, it can be styled with restrained flowers, timber, stone or other brass accents while keeping the diya itself as the focal point. Decorative Presence for the Home The combination of the peacock motif, ornate base and warm brass surface gives the piece a strong decorative identity even when unlit. It can be displayed on a console, sideboard, shelf or tabletop as a handcrafted brass accent between uses. Dimensions & Specifications Handcrafted Brass Peacock Spoon Diya Solid brass spoon-shaped diya with peacock motif for oil or ghee use, pooja, Diwali and home decor. SKU: BRS-9 Dimensions: 50 mm high × 110 mm wide × 190 mm deep Weight: 425 g Material: Solid brass Use: Oil / ghee diya for Diwali, pooja and home use Decorative use: Tabletop, buffet, console or similar home display Origin: South Indian origin Handcrafted Character As a handcrafted brass piece, slight variations in polish, tone, surface texture, casting marks and fine detail are natural characteristics of production rather than manufacturing defects. These variations contribute to the individual character of each piece.

Handmade Solid Brass Radha Krishna Statue Pair - 14" / 35.5cm, 7.0kg | Indian Temple Art Sculpture
Nearly seven kilograms of brass. Two figures. One of Indian art's most enduring expressions of devotion. This handcrafted Radha Krishna brass statue pair stands approximately 14 inches (35.5cm) high and weighs 7.0kg overall. The scale gives it genuine presence: this isn't a small devotional figurine or shelf ornament, but a substantial sculptural piece designed to hold a room. Krishna is depicted in his classical Venugopala - flute-playing - form, standing with crossed legs in the graceful pose that has appeared in Indian sculpture for centuries. Museum examples of Venugopala show the same visual language: Krishna with his flute, crossed legs, elaborate ornamentation and lotus-based composition. Look closer and the amount of work becomes apparent. Layered crowns, necklaces, waist ornaments and draped garments cover both figures. Peacock and floral forms move through the composition, while the deeply worked lotus-form pedestals give each sculpture a substantial architectural base. The richness of the surface recalls the increasingly elaborate metal sculpture of India's later temple traditions, where fine ornament became an important part of the visual language. Radha and Krishna are presented together as a pair - a devotional image deeply connected with love and bhakti, or devotion, but the craftsmanship allows the piece to live equally well as significant Indian art in a contemporary home. What You're Getting Handmade brass Radha Krishna statue pair 7.0kg overall weight - substantial, statement-scale metalwork Approx. 14" / 35.5cm height Krishna in the traditional flute-playing Venugopala form Highly detailed crowns, jewellery, garments, peacock and floral ornament Sculpted lotus-style pedestal bases Traditional Indian devotional and temple-art inspired design Suitable for a living room, entrance console, meditation space, home temple or statement display This is the kind of object you don't need to decorate around. At 7.0kg, it becomes the anchor. Handmade pieces naturally carry small variations in finish and detailing. Those variations are part of the object - evidence that what you own was worked by hand rather than produced to machine-perfect uniformity. Older than any trend. Made to outlast one.
