{"product_id":"rosewood-inlay-mo13","title":"Mysore Rosewood Inlay – Lord Shiva with Trishula","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis striking “Lord Shiva with Trishula” is a handcrafted example of Mysore Rosewood Inlay, portraying Lord Shiva in a distinctive stylised form. The composition presents Shiva holding the trishula, with the crescent moon adorning his head and the damaru represented alongside his flowing form. The simplified silhouette and contrasting wood tones give the divine figure a powerful yet contemplative presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artwork focuses on Shiva's recognisable attributes rather than a highly detailed figurative representation. His flowing hair, crescent moon, trident, and damaru are carefully defined through contrasting pieces of wood, while the natural grain of the material creates subtle variations across the figure. The muted landscape behind him provides a calm setting and allows the dark inlaid silhouette to remain the central focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe piece showcases the distinctive Mysore Rosewood Inlay technique, in which the surface of wood is carefully recessed according to the design and contrasting pieces of natural wood are fitted into the prepared spaces to create pictorial compositions. The natural differences in colour, grain, and texture of the wood become an integral part of the finished artwork. Mysore Rosewood Inlay is a GI-registered handicraft of Karnataka, traditionally associated with Mysuru.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReligious and devotional imagery, including representations of Hindu gods and goddesses, is an established subject within Mysore wood inlay. The craft has historically been used to create detailed figurative and narrative compositions alongside scenes depicting nature and everyday life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreated by artist Mohan, this artwork demonstrates how the natural character of wood can be used to create a strong devotional image through silhouette, proportion, and contrasting tones. The restrained detailing gives the piece a contemporary visual quality while retaining the character of traditional Mysore wood inlay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA meaningful statement piece for a puja room, meditation space, living room, study, or heritage-inspired interior, this artwork brings together Indian craftsmanship, Shaivite imagery, natural wood textures, and the timeless character of Mysore Rosewood Inlay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMedium: Wood (wood marquetry )- Rosewood | Frame: with frame | Time required for making: 3 weeks | Note: Monochrome\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Meri Katha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55100223062335,"sku":"MO13","price":6475.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0942\/6727\/7631\/files\/MO13.png?v=1786811623","url":"https:\/\/merikatha.com\/products\/rosewood-inlay-mo13","provider":"Meri Katha ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
