Kinnal toys - Gubbi
Metaphor Racha has worked with the local artist Ramesh Kantappa Chitragar & tried contemporizing the design. We present a pair of handcrafted wooden "Gubbi" ಗುಬ್ಬಿ (Sparrow in English). We find the craft of resilience in the delicate flutter of sparrows' wings while you discover the cheerful chirp of everyday craft happiness through your patronage.
