Head Papier Maché | Indian Woman

This decorative papier-mâché head is inspired by the popular figures crafted by Indian artisans for generations, often seen in processions and village festivals. Each facial feature is sculpted and then hand-painted, using the same technique as the wall masks in the Kiff Kiff collection.

Its creation involves several steps: shaping the form in paper pulp over a base, natural drying, light sanding, then detailed painting of the facial features. These manual steps give each piece its unique expression; no two heads have exactly the same gaze.

Standing or hanging, this 26 cm piece adds true character to a bohemian or ethnic decor, either alone or combined with other handcrafted objects from India such as wall masks or brass statues.

Due to the use of papier-mâché and tamarind powder, a natural material processed and dried artisanally, slight variations in texture, small reliefs, or fine irregularities may be visible.

Each piece is unique. Slight variations or irregularities may be present due to manual work and natural drying

Material: 100% traditional paper mache and tamarind fiber paste.

Dimensions: Height approximately 26 cm
