Sikhi Tala Kalasam

This piece from Ekam: The Collector’s Edition is a brass artifact aged over three decades, carrying the natural patina that develops with time. The surface shows authentic variations in tone, texture, and age marks that reflect its history.

To preserve this character, the piece is not polished or refinished. The natural patina and signs of aging are intentionally retained, making each piece unique and true to its heritage.

Sikhi Tala Kalasam reflects the enduring elegance of traditional brass kalasams once found in heritage homes and sacred interiors. The gently rounded body and flared neck create the familiar kalasam silhouette—an emblem of prosperity, life, and auspicious presence in Indian culture.

What distinguishes this piece is its beautifully sculpted base. The kalasam stands on curved ornamental legs adorned with dual peacock heads, a distinctive design that adds both artistic detail and structural elegance. Inspired by the sikhi — the peacock, a bird revered in Indian tradition for its grace and divine symbolism, these sculptural supports elevate the piece slightly above the surface while giving it a striking visual character.

The circular side handles further balance the composition, echoing functional brass forms once used in traditional households.

In contemporary interiors, Sikhi Tala Kalasam adapts effortlessly as a brass planter or decorative accent. Whether styled with foliage, seasonal flowers, or displayed as a standalone artifact, it introduces warmth, heritage craftsmanship, and timeless elegance into modern spaces.

A curated artifact from Ekam — where heritage lives in modern spaces.
