Peacock Statue with Bidri Work 2.6in x 5.1in x 5.5in HKIDECOR4112

• Striking silver against a deep, dark black, one that does not fade with time - these defining characteristics of bidriware from Bidar, Karnataka in Southern India bear testimony to the fine craftsmanship involved in creating this metal inlay work.
•  
• Believed to have been brought to Bidar (hence the crafts name) by the Bahamani Sultans who ruled there in the 14th - 15th Century, the craft is said to have originated in Persia with an intermingling of Turkish, Persian and Arabic influences.
  •  
  • This beautiful craft, with its 500 year old history, continues to be centered around the soil of Bidar used in its creation. Artisans lay special emphasis on the quality, often determining it by placing the soil on their tongue, a skill passed from one generation to the next.
