Decorative Dhol Showpieces

These miniature decorative dhols are made from mango wood, known for its lightweight and durability. The hand-carved dhol is then wrapped in silk fabric with traditional kasuti embroidery, which is a dense, geometric stitch that is native to Karnataka. The gold cords, mirrors, and other minute decorations are also added in by hand. This can also be used as a gift box, as the inside is hollow and provides ample space for storage.
