Spinning Tops, Set of Three

Channapatna, Karnataka

Three lathe-turned tops in different profiles — a squat spinner for small hands, a taller one for a longer run, a string-wound top for practice. Each is shaped from hale wood and banded in lac colour of vegetable origin, so the stripes blur into new shades as it spins. The balance comes from the turner's hand, not a mould.
