{"product_id":"boat-in-horn-craft-by-horn-craft-dealer","title":"Boat in Horn Craft by Horn Craft Dealer","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis elaborate horn craft created by a horn craft dealer features a sailing boat carrying a sailor and his passenger, a woman. The boat represents the rich maritime history of Odisha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHorn craft is a unique traditional art form produced using animal horns, such as cattle or buffalo horns, which are heated, carved, and shaped into decorative and utilitarian artifacts. Originally originating in Paralakhemundi, Odisha, the craft later flourished in other regions of the Indian subcontinent, including Bengal, Kerala, and Uttar Pradesh. Specialized polishing techniques help accentuate the deep black shades of the material, resulting in a smooth, glossy surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular object depicts a long, gracefully curved boat featuring an architectural superstructure and figurative characters. Positioned at one end, the sailor is shown actively rowing, his extended limbs, stooped back, and bent legs conveying the physical effort required to propel the vessel. He wears a cloth wrap around his head, a knee-length lower garment, and leaves his upper body bare, with his long hair cascading behind him as he holds the oar. At the opposite end, the female passenger sits in a relaxed, leisurely posture. Her elongated silhouette and fluid body contours are draped in a fitted garment, with her hair bound neatly into a bun. Behind her stands a double-story structure resembling a fort, topped by a tall mast hoisting a flag-like sail. Thin horn filaments connect and anchor this mast, providing structural stability to the delicate composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe entire sculpture is finished with a smooth, highly polished black sheen. The figures and architectural elements are rendered in a stylized, semi-abstract manner, prioritizing rhythmic form and dynamic narrative presence over granular anatomical detail.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Horn Craft Dealer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67954402951382,"sku":null,"price":1500.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1194\/1498\/files\/1._Boat_in_Horn_Craft_by_Horn_Craft_Dealer.jpg?v=1794378298","url":"https:\/\/www.memeraki.com\/products\/boat-in-horn-craft-by-horn-craft-dealer","provider":"Memeraki Retail and Tech Pvt Ltd.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
