Unheard of in modern tales of manufacture, local Indian artisans follow the steps of their elders, treading and molding raw wood with careful hands − giving true meaning to the word "art". One such technique of handicraft hailing from Andhra Pradesh is Kondapalli toymaking. The specialty of the toy lies in its spiritual significance and the craftsmanship skill it indicates. The local Kondapalli artisan who holds a log of timber in his hand is filled with a warm sense of pride as he commemorates his infinite faith. This vernacular-themed wooden toy adds a taste of 'being Indian' to your home - something to bring along from fertile villages to frantic urban settlements. The extravagant curio serves as a wall piece, adding originality and color to space.
