Nettipattams


Nettipattams are an integral part of Malayalees due to the fact that a Pooram is incomplete without elephants wearing Elephant caparisons and Thedembu. Miniature replicas of Nettipattam are common in all Malayalee Households all over the world. These elephant caparisons are made by sticking fiber sequins (golums) on golden backgrounded cloth surrounded by woolen threads in different colors. Each element in the nettipattam has cultural and mythological importance. Nettipattams are available in a variety of sizes. Starting from small ones for hanging on cars, it can be made in any size. Due to this customers can select a suitable size to fill their walls. At Arte House, we have Nettipattams starting from 1 foot in size which goes all the way up to 5 feet.

Bamboo Mat Paintings


Painting on bamboo mats was used in olden times to decorate walls. Even until this time, its significance has not decreased. Raja Ravi Varma paintings, Kathakali, Guruvayur Kesavan, Bharatanatyam, etc are common themes depicted in these mats. But the sad truth is that talented craftsmen making beautiful Painted bamboo mats have become obsolete. The quality of painting on bamboo mats presently available in the market is nothing compared to the works our ancestors did.


Elephant head


It's no secret that elephants and Poorams are a craze among Keralites. Hence Elephant decors are also widely popular here. Wooden elephant head with nettipattam and Pooram attire is the most popular one in this category. The elephant head is available in wood and fiber. Fibre Elephant heads are realistic in all the painting works. The price for these heads with superior finishing is usually high.
