The Memory of Motion
Vintage Wooden Cow on Timber Mount
About the Product
A carved wooden cow that was once part of an architectural beam in a Rajasthani haveli. The original mounting holes are still visible. Folk art figures such as this come from a Rajasthani tradition of painted animals, made for devotional displays, ceremonial arrangements and the festivals around Krishna's birth.
The elongated body, sculpted head and distinctive ears carry traces of an earlier painted finish, with muted reds, blues and natural wood tones showing across the weathered surface.
Its earthy palette and aged surface sit naturally within contemporary homes and collected interiors.
This is a one-of-a-kind piece. Photographs are close, but the piece may look slightly different in person and from different angles. Cracks, joints, holes and worn pigment are part of the original piece and add to the beauty of it.
About the Chapter
From The Memory of Motion, Origin & Form's first collection.
This piece has already made a journey. Long before it reached you, it moved: carried, wheeled, passed from hand to hand. It carries decades in its grain and the wear of the roads behind it.
You're not buying an object. You're buying the moment it stopped moving.
