Description
About this piece
The same star. A different piece of teak. A different grain, a different depth of finish, a different surface entirely. The Tara guided the merchant home, but it was the Kharwa navigator who read it from the open deck, holding the dhow on course from port to port across the Arabian Sea. The merchant knew the destination. The Kharwa knew the way.
No two pieces of teak are alike, and no two Tara plates will ever be the same. Handcarved from a single piece of teak by local artisans in collaboration with the House of Kutch studio. Each piece carries its own grain, depth, and surface character.

Care
Keep away from direct moisture and prolonged sunlight. Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth. Avoid water, chemicals, or abrasive cleaners.
Handmade Nature & Variations
Each plate is individually handcarved, resulting in subtle variations in wood grain, carving depth, tone, and finish that are part of its character. Actual colours and textures may vary slightly due to lighting and screen displays.
Delivered as Heritage Should Be
Your plate arrives wrapped in natural kala cotton, a textile tradition rooted in the same Kutch it was made in. Nestled within a hand block-printed Ajrakh pouch, it travels with the quiet richness of two craft traditions holding a third. A laser engraved teak story card accompanies each plate, carrying the name, the story, and the world the carving comes from, in the same material as the plate itself.
Packed with care from our studio in Pragmahal, Bhuj, Kutch.
