GI-tagged clay art, hand-made in Molela, Rajasthan
Not everything here hangs on a wall as a flat plaque. This is the sculptural and ornamental work: the ceremonial votive horses offered at village shrines, expressive deity face idols, and radiant sun medallions.
Handmade solar medallion with intricate flaming rays, divine facial features, and traditional floral borders, bringing warmth and auspicious energy to home entryways.
Ceremonial clay horse offering (Ghodla) sculpted for local village shrines and temple vows. Hand-turned cylindrical limbs with intricate saddle relief.
Expressive terracotta relief face idol of Goddess Durga featuring the third eye, ornamental crown, and traditional nosering (nath).
Each piece is sculpted by hand in pure Molela clay, hollow-backed or free-standing, dried in the shade, and fired in the village kiln for durable, timeless beauty.
Everything is made to order in the workshop at Molela, so sizes, themes and quantities are all open. Send a photograph of the space or the piece you have in mind and we will tell you what is possible.
