A Duo of Whimsical Terracotta Characters

There is a special kind of joy in handmade art that doesn't take itself too seriously. This duo of whimsical terracotta characters brings a smile to any room with their playful expressions and unique charm. Handcrafted by artisans in Panchmura, these figures are a fun twist on the famous Bankura terracotta tradition. Each character is shaped by hand, carrying the warmth and personality that only a real person can give to clay.

Made from natural earth and fired in traditional kilns, these characters are more than just toys or statues, they are pieces of folk art. They are well-burnt to make them strong and sturdy. You can easily keep them clean with a quick wipe or a gentle wash with mild soap, and their rich, natural clay color will never fade. Their tall necks, big eyes, and little details like the musical instrument and offering tray make them stand out in any home.

Where You Might Place It

These two friends love to be where people can see them. They add a bit of fun and a lot of character wherever they go. Here are some places they might like to sit:

• Where they truly shine:
  • On a bookshelf — nestled between your favorite stories and novels
  • On a coffee table — as a lighthearted way to start a conversation with guests
  • In a child’s room or nursery — adding a touch of safe, natural folk art
  • On a window sill — where the natural light highlights their earthy texture
  • In a home office — to bring a bit of cheer to your workspace
• Or, perhaps:
  • On a kitchen counter or breakfast nook — for a bit of morning whimsy
  • In a display cabinet — standing out among more traditional pieces
  • On a bedside table — as a charming pair to greet you every morning
  • As part of a centerpiece for a casual dinner or family gathering

Because they come as a pair, they always look best when kept together.
