Early 20th Century Brass Indian Temple Toy on Wheels

About the Item

Large sized (13" height) Indian temple toy. Camel with rider. Very rare to see this size. India is famous for its brass and copper metal craftsmanship. It has a rich tradition of making metal objects which are used for both religious and secular purposes. Andhra Pradesh in particular has a history of outstanding metal workmanship or “Vishwakarmas”, which can be traced back to the grandeur and glory of the Kakatiya Kingdom. It was during this time when metal craft attained the pinnacle of perfection in the high degree of skill displayed by the master craftsmen. A wide variety of brass and copper objects were made including a wide variety of lamps, pilgrimage figures, toys and boxes, both for religious and secular purposes, such as this superb brass temple toy. Wheels roll very smooth.
