tumba craft

Explore Bastar Tumba craft, where naturally dried bottle gourds are transformed into carved, painted and decorative objects by regional artisans. The collection includes lamps, hanging accents and sculptural decor that preserve the distinctive form and surface of the original gourd.

Because Tumba is a natural material, shape, colour and size vary from piece to piece. Carved openings can create patterned light when a product is designed for illumination; follow the individual listing’s safety and use instructions. Every purchase supports the makers who continue this imaginative Bastar craft tradition.
