Lacquered Wooden Bird Set

Etikoppaka, Andhra Pradesh

A small flock of rounded birds from Etikoppaka, the toy-making village on the Varaha river where turners work soft ankudu wood with lac and natural dyes. Each bird sits flat and steady, its colour fused into the grain rather than painted on. They line up, pair off, and hide well, which makes them good company for open-ended floor play.

Birds are turned from soft ankudu wood and coloured with lac blended with natural dyes while still spinning on the lathe.

Buying handmade keeps a craft in work. That is the whole model — no middle story.
