Miniature Bullock Cart
Kondapalli, Andhra Pradesh
A small bullock cart in the Kondapalli tradition — cart, bullocks and driver carved from featherlight tella poniki softwood, assembled with tamarind-seed paste and painted in flat, cheerful colours. These toys have long depicted village life around the Krishna delta. The parts are fixed; it is a keepsake rather than a plaything.
