Here is another old sentimental treasure...
this Ganesha on a Muram (winnow)...
This is a small muram ,which I picked up from a Craft fair...
I stuck a plaster of Paris Ganesha in the center of the winnow
and gave it an antique finish and finally embellished it with
stones and chamkis...stuck a small ring on the back of the muram
with the help of which I could hand it on my wall....
This piece is older than a decade...and I should say
except for a few fallen stones ,no other damage is there for
this piece in spite of its fragility and age...
A winnow or muram -is a typical eco friendly kitchen article found
in all traditional Indian kitchens and farms.It is used to seperate
the chaff /unwanted particles from the grain with the help
of the wind... The light dust particles get blown off and the heavy
grains settle down...
See how a Muram is used in the paddy fields
to seperate the chaff from the grain...
All you need is a little creative thinking
to change a dowdy article into a decorative piece...
