Wooden Gowramma Set, 4 Pieces | Etikoppaka

This is a set of four miniature wooden kitchen tools, hand-painted in red and yellow, made in the Etikoppaka style of turned-wood lacquer craft by artisans in Andhra Pradesh. The set includes a tall mortar and pestle, a smaller mortar and pestle, a lidded roller grinder, and a flat ammi kallu grinding stone, styled after the tools used in a traditional Indian kitchen. Gowramma sets like this one are a common Navratri and golu return gift, since they represent household items in miniature rather than a deity or a single figure. Product Highlights • Tall Mortar and Pestle - The larger of the two mortar-pestle pieces, standing 12 cm high with a 4.5 cm base, weighing close to 50 grams. • Small Mortar and Pestle - A shorter, wider mortar-pestle piece, 6 cm high with a 5 cm base, weighing close to 40 grams. • Lidded Roller Grinder - A round grinder with a small handle on top, 5 cm high with a 4.5 cm base, weighing close to 50 grams. • Ammi Kallu Grinding Stone - A flat stone-style grinder, 3.5 cm high, 4 cm wide and 6.5 cm long, weighing close to 30 grams. • Etikoppaka Turned-Wood Craft - Made using the Etikoppaka Bommalu technique, where wood is turned on a lathe before shaping and painting, a craft practised by artisans in Andhra Pradesh. • Hand-Painted Red and Yellow Finish - Each piece is painted by hand in matching red and yellow, with fine white line detailing. Why Choose This Wooden Gowramma Set • Supports Etikoppaka Artisans - Buying this set supports the turned-wood lacquer craft and the artisan families in Andhra Pradesh who keep it going. • Four Distinct Kitchen Tools, One Set - Each piece represents a different traditional grinding or pounding tool, so the set reads as a complete kitchen scene rather than repeated shapes. • A Household Theme for Golu - Fits the tradition of displaying miniature everyday items in a golu or Gowramma setup, alongside deity dolls. • Hand-Painted Character - Brush-painted detailing on each piece means the finish has natural variation rather than a uniform factory look. • Compact for Gifting or Shipping - All four pieces are small and light, making the set easy to pack and send as a golu or festival return gift.
