Production

  • Made by highly skilled artisans in central parts of south India
  • Using a mix of handiwork and machine-based work
  • Ivory wood is cut and shaped into the desired shape on a lathe spinning machine

  • Finally, the product is polished with a dry screw pine leaf
  • No harmful chemicals are used in the process
