These small, hand-painted Channapatna figurines can be used as kumkum dibbi (containers for kumkum, a powdered dye used in Indian rituals). The figurines, resembling a couple, are round and feature simple, painted faces in muted orange-yellow. The male figure has a darker head covering, and both wear red garments with cream or light pink decorative patterns. These figurines reflect traditional Indian folk art and serve both decorative and functional purposes, set against a plain white background to highlight their details.
