Molela Terracotta Wall Plaque

Molela village, Rajsamand, Rajasthan

In Molela, potters have long made hollow clay plaques of deities and village scenes for shrine walls. This plaque follows that tradition: figures raised in relief from a single hand-pressed slab, fired to the warm brick red of the local clay. The back carries a loop for hanging. Each firing shades slightly differently.

The hands
Local clay is kneaded with donkey dung for strength, pressed flat by hand, and the figures raised from the slab with fingers and simple wooden tools before firing.

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