Rajasthani Musician Pair, Pipe and Drum, 9 Inch Hand-painted Iron

TWO MUSICIANS, ONE SMALL MEHFIL One musician lifts a long wind pipe to his face. The other carries a barrel drum across his waist, slung on a twisted cord. One plays the tune and one keeps the beat, so the pair looks like a small band in mid-song. The pipe player wears a magenta pagri with a green plume. The drum player wears a red pagri with a blue plume. Both have flared skirts painted in green, blue, magenta and red, with raised white dots and small floral shapes. HAND-PAINTED IRON Each figure is cut and shaped from iron, then coloured by hand and lacquer coated. The gold on the face, arms and instrument is a paint finish, not real gold. The stone at the chest is a jewel-style accent, not a real gem. 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 and 5 inches (13 cm) across, on its own round base of about 3 inches. Please check the size before you order: these are tabletop pieces, not large statues. They suit a living room console, a TV unit, a bookshelf, a study desk, an office cabin or a reception counter. A STANDING PAIR There is no hook and no wall fitting. Each figure stands on its own base on a flat surface. GIFTING An easy gift for Diwali, griha pravesh and housewarming, weddings, anniversaries and corporate hampers. CARE Keep indoors on a level, dry surface. 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 wind pipe player and 1 drum player). Material: Iron. Finish: Hand-painted, lacquer coated. Country of origin: India. The furniture, diyas, flowers and gift box in the photographs are styling props and are not included.
