Chandigarh Open Hand

Originally designed for the Cinevesture International Film Festival that debuted in Chandigarh, the Open Hand Collectible is an iconic symbol of the 'city beautiful'.

The Open Hand (La Main Ouverte) in Chandigarh is a frequent theme in Le Corbusier's architecture, a symbol for him of "peace and reconciliation. It is open to give and open to receive".

Made in stoneware clay, and fired in a classic cream glaze, this weighs 350gms. Each piece is unique, and you may find 'Kintsugi' on some of the pieces, a process in which cracks are enhanced using gold leaf.
