Description

VTG Hand Painted Wooden Indian Dolls Figurine Pair Man Woman Folk Art 4" Tall. This unique pair of hand-painted Indian folk art figurines dates to the mid-20th century (c. 1930s-1950s) and stands approximately 4 inches tall. Likely originating from the artisanal regions of Southern India, these figures are hand-carved from wood and finished with a traditional plaster topcoat that allows for vibrant, expressive detailing. The female figure is elegantly depicted in a yellow saree with a traditional red bindi and sindoor, while the male figure represents a "modern" professional in a classic black suit and blue tie—a common motif in colonial and post-colonial era folk art. Mounted on their original terracotta-red wooden bases, this pair is a wonderful example of Navratri Golu dolls, showcasing the "naive" yet soulful craftsmanship typical of Indian vernacular art.
