Vintage Gauri Head

This vintage brass Gauri head from Kolhapur, Maharashtra, reflects the simplicity and quiet power of regional folk craftsmanship. The face is composed and serene, with almond-shaped eyes, a slender nose, and small, closed lips—carefully shaped to convey stillness and grace.

The surface shows signs of age and handling, lending character and depth to the piece. Compact in scale but rich in presence, it speaks to everyday devotional practices and the enduring visual language of rural Maharashtra.

Part of The Blue Trunk’s curated collection of vintage Indian artefacts, this sculpture can be appreciated for both its aesthetic quality and its cultural significance.
