Bengal jute has long been a popular fibre used to create a variety of products, including utility items, furniture, accessories, and home decor. One such highly desired item is jute dolls. Although jute dolls have been around for a while, there has been a significant shift in the way they are made over the past five to six years. These dolls are made by twisting jute threads, giving them the desired shape. Small pieces of jute fibre have been colored with natural dyes to enhance the features and details of the dolls.
This particular set contains two jute owls, made with efficiency and earnest care by Bolpur artisan Gourango Das. Owl, in Hindu mythology, acts as the ‘bahon’ (companion) of Goddess Laxmi. It signifies wealth and prosperity and is considered to be extremely lucky. This pair of jute owls adds a regal sense of aesthetics when used as décor.
