Product Code: AE 85

Product Description
➤ This Terracotta Clay Jug celebrates the timeless appeal of Indian folk pottery, with stylistic echoes of Indus Valley, early Vedic, and tribal traditions.
➤ The jug is crafted in a natural reddish-brown clay tone, presenting a barrel-like form with a broad body that gently tapers to a slightly flared foot for a classic silhouette.
➤ It features a single prominent arched handle, meticulously carved to resemble a stylized rope or braid, adding both strength and artistic detail.
➤ The body is richly ornamented: repeated circular wheel motifs (eight-spoked and likely symbolic) are placed at regular intervals, while arched horseshoe or “U” shapes form decorative bands, possibly symbolizing fertility, protection, or tradition.
