Sikki Grass Bird

Madhubani district, Bihar

A small bird coiled from golden sikki grass, a wetland grass that dries to a natural shine and takes dye well. The body is built up in tight spirals, the way women in north Bihar have long made boxes and figures for weddings and festivals. Light, dry to the touch, and quietly bright on a shelf.

Sun-dried golden sikki grass is dampened, split fine, and coiled tightly around a core, stitch by stitch, until the form of the bird emerges.

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