The hubby was off to do fieldwork (he's an archaeologist) and he was going to a whole lot of places along the Konkan coast, though not necessarily to any of the beaches. I reminded him to bring me some of the beautiful fragrant Ambe Mohar rice that I love. Of course he did.
He also came back with some other goodies including kurdai (a kind of papad made from wheat), a huge pile of tender raw mangoes, some kaju fruit and the show stopper - a gorgeous beaten copper vessel!
I'm gearing up for another sale, a 2 day event this time, and I have tons of stuff waiting to be painted. Work is also keeping me busy. But you know how it is... a beautiful new vessel, the soft light of the morning and a relatively new camera that I'm still getting to know...
So here's what I did today :)

Happy to know u like the Tamba so much ... its authentic. Handmade by members of the Kaashta-Taambat (Copppersmith) caste living in Taambat-aali (Coppersmith's Alley) in Mhasla - a famous medieval port town of the Konkan :)
ReplyDelete... also the mangoes are from the jungles of Mangaon collected by a Katkari tribal lady and her two lil children ... whom we met trudging down the Sai ghat ... walking 12 km to Mangoan in the afternoon heat!!
