Woodcraft- Sandalwood
carvings come in a range of objects and themes. The choices
is so varied that it is difficult to choose, whether its the
desert caravan with tiny Camels or Lord Krishna playing the
flute in a divine mood, or nymphs in aesthetic dance poses.
For the budget Shopper also available in fragrant sandalwood,
are keychains, paper and trinket boxes. The minutely carved
wooden blocks used for textile printing are so exquisite that
they are highly in demand and often are converted into door
knobs or book ends.

filigreed cut work on silver. Apart from jewellery, the silversmiths
make beautiful boxes, trays, small statues of Krishna, Ganesh
and ornamental birds, horses and elephants enamelled as well
as plain. Jaipur also has a tradition of brass sculptures
well finished and polished to a shine.

Toys and Dolls-
Toy makers of Jaipur make Elephants and Horses of stuffed
cloth decorated with tinsel & embroidered fabric. Paper mache
birds and animals are available in different sizes and colours,
and make an interesting buy. Soft tinted clay toys are produced
in Merta and Nagaur district. Toys and statues inspired by
the local legends are also available. Udaipur is famous for
its wooden toys. Don't forget to buy Rajasthani puppets which
are catching and expressive because of their exaggerated eyes
and brightly coloured dresses.

Furniture-
Decorate your home like palace or haveli. The furniture of
rajasthan displays grandeur and elegance. The carved and decorated
chests chairs, cradles and low tables & stools are simply
a steal. Each object is desirable whether inlaid with brass
sheet work or painted with dancing figures or embellished
with hunting scenes. Patra furniture, which is plated with
white metal, has carved out its own market niche.
