Welcome to The Blue Trunk!
I’m Ujval Anand, founder and curator.
What began as a personal passion for collecting has grown into The Blue Trunk, a collection of Indian vintage art, ritual objects, masks, wooden carvings and other cultural finds. Over the years, travel and encounters with collectors, families and artisans have shaped the way I discover and curate these pieces.
At our gallery in Aarey, Mumbai, an old blue trunk remains a symbol of the journey that started it all. Through this website, I’m delighted to share these discoveries with collectors and curious minds, wherever they may be.
I invite you to explore the collection and discover something that speaks to you.

Vintage Mukhalingam/Shiva Bust
Regular priceRs. 19,800.00

Tax included.
This is an ornate vintage Mukhalingam from Maharashtra. Made from a single piece of metal, it was once used to cover a stone lingam and then removed during the worship of the stone by priests. The piece features neatly arranged jata, a calm facial expression, and stylised ear ornaments. A small lingam is present at the base of the piece. It has developed a lovely patina over time and has lost some details due to age and prolonged veneration.
