About the Artwork +
This exquisite Kathakali Dancing Doll by the renowned artist Baskaran Natarajan is a brilliant testament to the grandeur of Kerala’s classical dance-drama tradition. The doll features an intricately designed figure with a striking green-painted face, signifying a noble or heroic character in Kathakali performances. The facial expressions, with meticulously painted eyes, arched eyebrows, and a delicate red mouth, exude the dramatic intensity of the art form. The headgear is an opulent golden crown with elaborate detailing and circular golden ear ornaments that enhance its majestic appeal. The doll's upper body is adorned in a rich red blouse with intricate gold embroidery and a dazzling necklace that drapes elegantly, reflecting the ornate costumes of Kathakali performers. The lower half showcases a grand, pleated white skirt with bold orange, green, and blue accents, meticulously crafted to replicate the voluminous attire worn in the dance. A bejeweled waist belt further enhances the costume’s regal appearance. The doll is engineered with a rotatable mechanism, allowing it to sway gracefully, imitating the fluid movements of a real Kathakali dancer. The finely sculpted hands are posed in traditional mudras (hand gestures), capturing the storytelling essence of the dance form. The figure is firmly placed on a sturdy brown base, making it a perfect addition to any Navaratri Golu display or an elegant collector’s piece. This handcrafted marvel embodies the spirit of Kerala’s cultural heritage, showcasing the dedication and skill of its creator while bringing the vibrant tradition of Kathakali to life.
