Embrace protection and bold design with our hand-painted ceramic matchbox holder, a powerful nod to a deeply rooted cultural tradition.
This piece masterfully blends art, folklore, and everyday function, making it an utterly unique addition to your home or a perfectly appropriate house-warming gift.
The design is a striking, contemporary interpretation of the classic Indian Nazar Battu—the imagery traditionally used to ward off the evil eye. The lid features a vibrant, stylized face in dramatic colors of red, black, and yellow, surrounded by geometric patterns that pulsate with energy. Boldly painted across the surface is the iconic phrase: "Buri Nazar Waale, Tera Muh Kaala" (O malicious onlooker, may your face be blackened), a powerful, lighthearted incantation against envy and bad luck.
Hand-painted with incredible detail, this matchbox is our most vividly painted one so far. It's a chic, cool, and witty way to carry forward a tradition. Place it where you need a touch of style and a little symbolic protection—by the front door, on a mantel, or next to your favorite candles. This is functional art at its finest, turning a simple object into a conversation piece that is as stylish as it is culturally significant.
