The Garden of Feathered Grace

Sold by

Lt Yashodha Devi

Description

Keeper of the Harvest by Malo Devi is a 2018 work where Malo Devi reimagines the elephant—a recurring Khovar symbol of endurance and prosperity—with striking simplicity. The “One Ear Elephant” becomes an emblem of wisdom in imperfection, adorned with circular motifs that reference seeds and harvest cycles. The minimal palette of charcoal grey and white heightens its primal energy.

Why This Artwork Stands Out:

  • A bold reinterpretation of the elephant motif with modern restraint.
  • The asymmetry adds personality and emotion to the sacred form.
  • Natural pigments ground the piece in the tactile beauty of folk craft.
  • Perfect for contemporary art lovers seeking the elegance of imperfection .

This work will resonate with collectors who admire raw symbolism, minimalist folk imagery, and timeless cultural iconography.

What is special about Khovar painting?
Khovar Painting is a tribal painting tradition prominent in the villages of Jharkhand’s Hazaribagh district. It is traditionally created to adorn the wedding room of a bride and groom; Khovar itself meaning 'bridal chamber'. The painting is done in monochrome, using a white and black sgraffito technique to symbolize the womb and fertility for a nuptial chamber.
Is this painting handmade?
Yes. Indian Art Paintings on Rooftop, including The Garden of Feathered Grace, are handpainted by master artists across the country.

Yes, absolutely! At Rooftop, we believe in supporting our artists and preserving traditional Indian art. Each time a painting is sold, the artist receives a fair share of the proceeds.

How should I care for the painting?
