{"product_id":"rosewood-inlay-mo22","title":"Mysore Rosewood Inlay – The Noble Horse","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis expressive “The Noble Horse” is a handcrafted example of Mysore Rosewood Inlay, presenting a powerful close-up portrait of a horse rendered through richly varied tones and grains of natural wood. The composition focuses on the animal's head, flowing mane, and strong neck, creating an artwork that feels both sculptural and deeply connected to the natural character of wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe horse is depicted in a lowered, contemplative pose, with its ears raised and its gaze directed forward. Its facial features are carefully assembled from contrasting pieces of wood, while the flowing mane is created through numerous naturally varied sections that follow the contours of the animal. The different grains and warm reddish-brown tones give the horse a distinctive sense of texture and movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artwork 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 areas to create pictorial compositions. The natural colour, grain, and texture of the wood become an integral part of the artwork, allowing the material itself to contribute to the depiction of the horse. Mysore Rosewood Inlay is a GI-registered handicraft of Karnataka, traditionally associated with Mysuru.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnimal and wildlife subjects form part of the broader artistic vocabulary of Mysore Rosewood Inlay. This artwork takes a more focused and contemporary approach, using the horse as a single central subject and allowing the natural variations of the wood to define its form, texture, and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreated by artist Mohan, the piece demonstrates an expressive use of wood grain, with each section carefully positioned to follow the shape and movement of the horse. The combination of warm natural tones, darker accents, and flowing grain gives the portrait considerable visual depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA distinctive statement piece for a living room, study, library, office, or contemporary interior, this artwork brings together Indian craftsmanship, equestrian imagery, natural wood textures, and the distinctive character of Mysore Rosewood Inlay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMedium: Wood (wood marquetry )- Rosewood | Frame: with frame | Time required for making: 3 weeks\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Meri Katha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55100223357247,"sku":"MO22","price":15725.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0942\/6727\/7631\/files\/MO22.jpg?v=1786627718","url":"https:\/\/merikatha.com\/products\/rosewood-inlay-mo22","provider":"Meri Katha ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
