Vihanga Charana Kundam

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.

Vihanga Charana Kundam presents a rounded brass form complemented by traditional side ring handles, reflecting the simplicity and balance of classic brass vessels once used in Indian households. Its compact proportions give it a grounded presence while maintaining a graceful silhouette.

What sets this piece apart are the curved ornamental legs shaped like parrots, lending the vessel a distinctive sculptural detail. The parrot, often associated with beauty, vitality, and auspicious symbolism in Indian art, adds a lively decorative element to the design.

Slightly elevated by these bird-inspired supports, the kundam gains a sense of lightness while highlighting the craftsmanship of its form. In contemporary interiors, Vihanga Charana Kundam works beautifully as a brass planter or decorative accent, bringing a subtle blend of heritage character and artistic elegance into modern spaces.

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