{"product_id":"moksha-brass-chirper","title":"Bronze\/Brass Pair of Stylized Coiled Birds","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis pair of birds, which are depicted as tightly coiled, are representative of Indian folk art; an example of the abstracted decorative style of Indian folk art. Traditionally such pieces are made from either bronze or brass, both of which have been finished with deep rich dark patinas to give them a rustic appearance. This has allowed for highlighting the texture of these pieces; while the use of brown patina enhances this characteristic, it also presents a contrasting colour to the bronze or brass.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe birds have highly stylised bodies. The bodies have been made using fine wire or metal coils, which are tightly wound around one another and combined with other metal parts, producing a textural feel to the birds' bodies. The loose spiral shape is reminiscent of similar products produced using traditional bell metal casting methods (Dhokra). This style creates a very simple representation of the birds without any attempt to depict realistic details.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBoth birds are firmly attached to the ground via stylised legs with flat articulated feet. In many cultures, both of these birds are considered symbols of prosperity, peace, or marriage. When placed in proximity to one another, such as facing each other or being side-by-side, these birds form an attractive and balanced display. The birds can also serve as a sophisticated accent piece for any collector of tribal artworks and handcrafted metal sculptures.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Casa Mandala ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46195435405487,"sku":"VSP-164","price":2400.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/8851\/9855\/files\/57_Compressed_3c836961-7663-4ef8-8bac-9997dad7a6c2.jpg?v=1762322335","url":"https:\/\/www.thecasamandala.com\/products\/moksha-brass-chirper","provider":"Casa Mandala ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
