{"product_id":"10-ethnic-wooden-wall-plate","title":"Wooden Wall Plate - 10-Inch Hand-Painted Krishna, Peacock, Cow","description":"\u003cp\u003eFour hand-painted 10-inch discs, each holding one image against a flat field of colour: Krishna's hands on the flute against a night sky, a peacock on a flowering branch, and two Pichwai cows. The plates are MDF, varnished, and light enough to hang on a pushpin - the format Indian homes have used for wall art long before anyone called it a gallery wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 inch diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 mm thick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 460 g (approx. 1 lb \/ 16.2 oz) per plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMDF board, hand-painted and varnished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-painted in India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHanging hook fitted to the back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrice is per plate - choose one design above\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecorative only, not food safe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy these work on a wall\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e460 g each - about a pound. That is the number that makes a gallery wall of these practical: a single small nail or a rated pushpin holds one, so you can hang five or six without touching a stud, and move them when the arrangement is wrong. The varnish coat is what keeps the paint from scuffing when you take them down and put them back up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich of the four\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute\u003c\/strong\u003e - Krishna's hands on the bansuri, painted against a starry night sky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePichwai - Cow\u003c\/strong\u003e - a decorated cow among pink lotus flowers on deep blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeacock\u003c\/strong\u003e - a peacock on a flowering branch against golden yellow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLotus - Cow\u003c\/strong\u003e - a cow and calf surrounded by lotus on black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo of the four are night-dark grounds and two are bright, which is worth knowing if you are buying a pair - Flute and Lotus Cow read as a set, Peacock and Pichwai Cow as another.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere they go\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStair walls, entryway walls, above a console or a sideboard, in a kitchen nook, or filling the awkward vertical strip beside a doorway that nothing else fits. A single plate reads as an accent; three or more read as a collection.

At 460 g a small nail or a heavy-duty pushpin is enough - no anchors needed. For a group, lay the plates out on the floor first and photograph the arrangement before you put a single hole in the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWipe with a soft cloth. Glass cleaner applied to the cloth rather than sprayed will lift finger marks off the varnish. Do not soak them and do not put them in a dishwasher - they are painted MDF, not ceramic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy are Krishna's hands shown without his face?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe flute and the hands are a standard shorthand for Krishna in Indian devotional art - the instrument identifies him without a portrait. It is also why the design works in a room where a full deity image would feel too explicit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the peacock stand for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe peacock feather is Krishna's own emblem, worn in his crown. The bird carries that association even when he is not in the picture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I eat off it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. These are decorative wall plates - hand-painted, varnished MDF, not glazed ceramic and not food safe. They are made to hang, not to serve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it real wood?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMDF board, which is engineered wood. It is what makes a 10-inch plate come in at 460 g and stay perfectly flat instead of warping the way a thin solid-wood disc would.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I mix designs from your other plate listings?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, and most people do. All four plate listings are the same 10-inch size, the same thickness and the same price, so they hang together as one set regardless of which listing they came from.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it come ready to hang?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. A hook is fitted to the back. Nails and pushpins are not supplied.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill mine look exactly like the photograph?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClose, not identical. Each plate is painted by hand, so line weight and colour depth shift a little between pieces. That variation is the reason to buy a hand-painted plate rather than a printed one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the price for one plate or a set?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne plate. Choose your design from the dropdown. Add several to the cart if you want a group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan they go in a kitchen or a bathroom?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA dry kitchen wall away from the hob is fine. Bathrooms are not - steam gets into MDF and lifts the varnish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat if one arrives damaged?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShipping is insured.
