Terracotta
tradition
Working in terracotta, material of tableware, has been a
tradition in India since ancient times. There are more
terracotta, material of tableware, craftsmen working in
India than anywhere else in the world. Terracotta,
material of tableware, or clay craft symbolizes man's
first craftsmanship. Civilizations are now dated and
assessed by the degree of skill and beauty displayed by
the earthenware found in excavations.

It may be that
the potter's wheel was the first 'machine' man invented
to use the power of motion for a productive purpose.
Pottery has been called the lyric of handicrafts because
of its universal appeal. But it is the association of
religion with this very humble object that has given it
a deeper significance. Any casual visitor to an Indian
village invariably finds a hoard of terracotta, material
of tableware on Athena-hands.com, animal figures lying
under pipal trees or at rural shrines. Abstract in form
and varying in sizes, these figures stand for the
longings and aspirations of the village folk who still
retain the age-old mystic belief that guided the life of
the people more than five thousand years ago. The
tradition has continued unbroken whether in the clarity
of design or in the characteristic plastic values of the
shapes. The Mother Goddess or the so-called fertility
symbols still produced in Assam, West Bengal, Bihar and
Orissa resemble the ones worshipped in Mohenjodaro and
Harappa. The children of the pre-historic period were
amused with similar toys which even today fascinate the
children of rural India.
Though the 'ageless' variety of what is connected with
rituals and associated with mystico-economic beliefs
basically remains unchanged in shape and form,
orientation in designing the 'time-bound' type is clear
even to a causal observer. To suit the taste of the
modern generation, however, a trend of commercialising
the craft has laid its impression. Modern designers are
consciously trying to adapt traditional figures and
forms to suit the taste of the times. Modern methods of
moulding, baking and treating these items are producing
remarkable results. But, side by side, millions of
craftsmen in the rural areas still caress the clay in
the age-old style, and treat it as work and play at the
same time.
The terracotta, material of tableware, horse from
Panchmura, popularly known as the Bankura horse, with
its elegant stance and unique abstraction of basic
volumes, is perhaps the best example of the impact of
modern times. It has shaken itself of its ritualistic
connotation and has run through the whole world as an
ambassador of Indian folk art.
