Bankura Horse Metal Idol with Enamel Meenakari Art

Bankura Horse Metal Idol – Enamel Meenakari Art on Traditional Folk Form

This Bankura horse idol is crafted in metal and decorated with vibrant enamel Meenakari painting, combining the iconic folk art form of West Bengal with the traditional enamel craft of Rajasthan. The Bankura horse is characterised by its upright neck, bold eyes, and abstract geometric form — a design that originated in the Bankura district and has been used in religious rituals honouring deities like Dharmathakur and Manasa. This version in metal with Meenakari finish gives the traditional form a durable, colourful presentation.

Bankura Form with Meenakari Finish

The original Bankura horse is traditionally made from terracotta, but this metal version retains the same iconic silhouette while adding the detail and colour of hand-painted enamel Meenakari work. The multicolour Meenakari patterns are applied by hand, with each piece individually finished. At approximately 15cm height, it is suitable for shelf display, tabletop placement, or as a cultural gifting piece for collectors of Indian folk art.
