Elephant Coaster Set — Handcrafted Wooden Coasters (Varanasi)

Small, useful, unmistakably Banarasi. This elephant coaster set is handcrafted by the lacquerware artisans of Varanasi, whose wooden lacquerware and toys were GI-tagged in 2014. Each coaster is shaped, hand-painted and lacquer-finished in the city's Kunder Kharadi workshops — everyday tableware carrying a centuries-old craft. The easiest way to bring a piece of Varanasi home, and an easy gift.
