There's something profoundly beautiful about owning a piece that tells a story of tradition, skill and nature's generosity. This handcrafted Sikki grass peacock box is more than just a storage solution; it's a celebration of Bihar's ancient weaving heritage, brought to life through the nimble fingers of skilled artisans who have preserved this craft for generations. The peacock, a symbol of grace and beauty in Indian culture, takes form in golden Sikki grass, adorned with vibrant hues that capture the bird's majestic spirit.
About the Craft
Sikki grass art is a centuries-old tradition practiced predominantly in the Mithila region of Bihar, India. The craft uses the delicate golden stalks of Sikki grass, a wetland plant that grows abundantly along the banks of rivers and ponds. Women artisans harvest this natural material, dry it under the sun, and then weave it into intricate patterns using techniques passed down through maternal lineages. Each piece requires patience and precision, as the grass must be carefully split, softened and then coiled or woven into shape. The addition of vibrant dyes and decorative motifs transforms these humble grass stalks into stunning works of functional art.
Speciality
What sets this peacock box apart is its perfect marriage of form and function. The intricate weaving pattern mimics the peacock's elaborate plumage, while the contrasting colours, golden grass complemented by vibrant pinks and yellows, create a visual feast. The natural texture of Sikki grass adds warmth to any space, whether displayed on a dresser, kitchen counter or coffee table. Beyond aesthetics, this box supports rural artisan communities in Bihar, helping preserve a dying art form while providing sustainable livelihoods to skilled craftswomen.
How to Care?
Maintaining your Sikki grass peacock box is simple. Handle it with gentle care, avoiding rough handling that might damage the delicate weaving. Keep it in a dry place away from direct moisture, as natural grass can absorb water. Dust it regularly with a soft, dry cloth to maintain its lustrous appearance. Avoid placing heavy objects on top, and keep it away from direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent colour fading.
This handcrafted Sikki grass peacock box is an investment in beauty, sustainability and cultural preservation. It brings the warmth of rural Bihar into your home while serving practical storage needs with timeless elegance.
