{"product_id":"harappan-seal-terracotta-rhinoceros-replica","title":"Harappan Seal Terracotta Rhinoceros Replica","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe one-horned rhinoceros appears on Harappan seals more frequently than almost any other animal, evidence that it moved freely across the subcontinent four thousand years ago, long before it was reduced to the narrow corridor of Kaziranga in Assam. A Molela terracotta artist from Rajasthan pressed this clay replica using the same method the original seal-maker used: raw clay, a carved form, and fire. History compressed into the size of a palm.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Harappan rhinoceros seal belongs to one of the great lost civilizations of the ancient world, discovered at sites across what is now northwest India and Pakistan. The rhino it depicts roamed wide across the subcontinent then; today it survives only in Kaziranga National Park in Assam, a footnote to an extraordinary contraction. This replica was made by a Molela terracotta artist in Rajasthan, a community whose press-and-fire clay work has its own deep lineage, using the original seal's proportions and composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFramed and ready to hang, it carries the particular density of objects that contain more history than their size suggests. The terracotta surface is warm and slightly rough to the touch, the way all fired clay is. It belongs on a wall that gets looked at slowly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMolela Terracotta · Hand-Pressed Clay · Rajasthan · Harappan Replica\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural Materials\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCollection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe Art Wall\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDust gently with a dry, soft cloth, do not wet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHang away from direct sunlight to preserve colours and mirror adhesion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle with care, the mirror inlay is fragile.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not clean with water or any liquid cleaner.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"House of Taraasha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51903932858685,"sku":"HOT-WAR-010","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/2363\/3213\/files\/lifestyle_1_c4501c35-0c29-4939-8e67-2887718fb242.png?v=1782990904","url":"https:\/\/houseoftaraasha.com\/products\/harappan-seal-terracotta-rhinoceros-replica","provider":"House of Taraasha","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
