Carved Wooden Animal Set

Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh

A set of small animals in the wooden toy tradition of Varanasi, where families have long carved elephants, horses, and birds from local softwood. Each figure is cut from one block, so there are no glued limbs to work loose, and the rounded forms stand up to being carried, dropped, and paraded. Sized for a small fist and a big imagination.

The hands
Each animal is shaped with small chisels from a single block, then smoothed and coloured by hand rather than cast from a mould.

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