🖤 ĀTMUN 1 Planter 🖤

DESCRIPTION:
* Size: 5” (13 cm) diameter X 5” (13 cm) height
* Color: Ivory color achieved with Darjeeling tea dye, surface etching in black ink
* Material: Paper clay, double baked in a kiln, then the New York sun and sealed with clear lacquer
* Weather & waterproof
* Drainage hole included because plants want drainage! You can choose to plug with cello tape
* Not safe for dishwasher and microwave use

PROVENANCE:
* You get a one-of-a-kind piece because it's hand sculpted, individually dyed with Darjeeling tea, uniquely hand drawn
* The making process and art date back to the rare Gond artform originating in India (more about that below)
* Instantly recognizable by my signature “ears” and Gond art signature eyes
* Shaped by hand & baked in the New York City sun
* I don't factory produce these with molds at scale. Each piece is individually tended and crafted, made to order

The perfect addition to your contemporary home decor as a planter or modern sculpture with a touch of tribal folk art in neutral colors.

STYLE:
Doodle van Dough makes ink drawings, sculpture and prints in the Gond art style, an ancient Indian artform to illustrate contemporary themes in ink, adding his unique line work motifs to expand the existing lexicon of this venerable folk form.

WHAT IS GOND ART?
Dating back almost 3000 years, the Gonds were original natives of the Indian subcontinent, originating from Madhya Pradesh. Gond art is an ancient form, with a striking, instantly recognizable vocabulary of decorative maximalism with extremely fine line work, balanced with hard, clear boundaries depicting surreal, narrative scenes of flora, fauna, religious themes.

NOTE:
These planters do not come with a base saucer to hold drainage. DM me if you'd like one.
