Rajasthani Moustache Musician Set of 2, Sitar and Manjira, 9 Inch Hand-painted Iron

TWO MUSICIANS, ONE SMALL MEHFIL Two seated musicians with big curled moustaches. One plays a gold sitar held across his body. The other holds a pair of small manjira cymbals, ready to strike. One carries the tune and one keeps the beat. The sitar player wears a blue turban and a green shirt over a sweeping red robe. The manjira player wears a red turban and a blue shirt over a green robe. Both are covered in fine dot work and painted patterns. HAND-PAINTED IRON Each figure is shaped from iron and painted by hand: the face, the moustache, the turban, the shirt and every dot on the robe. Because the colour is put on by hand, small differences between pieces are normal and not a fault. SIZE AND PLACEMENT Each musician stands about 9 inches (23 cm) tall, 5 inches (13 cm) across and 2 inches (5 cm) deep. Please check the size before you order: these are tabletop and wall pieces, not large statues. They suit a living room console, a TV unit, a bookshelf, a study desk or an office cabin. ON A TABLE OR ON A WALL A slim gold frame rises behind each figure, with a small loop at the top. Stand them on their round bases, or hang each one from a nail by the loop. Nails are not included. GIFTING An easy gift for Diwali, griha pravesh and housewarming, weddings, anniversaries and corporate hampers. CARE Keep indoors and dry. Dust with a soft dry cloth. Avoid water, damp and abrasive cleaners. The instruments are decorative and do not play. In the box: 2 musician figurines (1 sitar player and 1 manjira player). Material: Iron. Finish: Hand-painted. Country of origin: India. The furniture, diyas, flowers and gift box in the photographs are styling props and are not included.
