WOODEN DOLLS OF NATUNGRAM
Homemade ethnic character dolls are the main characteristic feature of NATUNGRAM village of BARDWAN district, West Bengal. The nearest Railway stations from the village are Agradeep and Katwa (1.4-1.5 km).
The dolls are carved in wood and decoratively painted by a group of rural craft persons, known as "SUTRADHARS" ( meaning 'narrator' or 'story teller'), because they make characters from ancient folklores and mythology and tell stories through their dolls.
The owl, with its unique design and colours, is the brand product of the village. On the white background of the owl is painted with the distinctive colours of red, green, yellow and black colours lines. Beside the Owl Krishna-Radha, King- Queen, Durga dolls are made in traditional way.
The dolls are craved from one single piece of wood. A big piece of cylindrical woood is cut off in every direction according to the size, shape and figure requirement. Then to give it a final shape the structure is chiseled out. The traditional design based on culture and mythology, the richness of ideas, the brilliant combination of pure and simplicity and glamour combined with the master craftmanship of the craft artists, resulting an amazing art work. Now a days some of the wodden dolls are barnished to give them a great finishing touch for making them useful in interior decoration.
Around 60 families living in the Natungram village are involved in the Doll making. In this family craft business both men and women have key role. The doll makers are organized as a collective, 'Natungram Kastho Khodai Hastashilpa Samity'.

Kantha for the Bengali folks means embroidered qulit. Kantha is said to be 'Dorukha' meaning turning the worn out and old textiles and fabrics to things of beauty. It is the way the stitch is used, in different arrangements, that forms the complex vocabulary of Kantha.
A Kantha is often referred to as a rural woman's diary as it reflects the rural woman's personal account of her life's events and happenings.
Kantha embroidery has led to socio-economic empowerment of thousands of women of Birbhum. Department of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises & Textiles (MSME&T), Goverment of West Bengal in partnership with UNESCO, is developing a Rural Craft Hub at Nanoor.
Simple run stitches at the hands of skill artists create a magical artwork called as 'Kantha Embroidery'. Kantha making is a 'women's art'. It was the bengali housewife who helped the art to evolve.
The origin of the Kantha craft traces its history to a period not less than a thousand years. since then the tradition has come a long way today when the artistic brilliance of the women artists have found expressions in lifestyle products like saree, dress materials, bed and cushion covers etc. Motifs of nature including animals, birds and flowers are extensively stitched and the art work varies from intricate and heavy to light and simple designs.
There is a large concentration of the women doing Kantha embrodiery in Nanoor block of Birbhum, West Bengal. Around 2000 women of this area are engaged in doing katha embrodiery on different products. About 600 kantha artists are included in the Rural Craft Hub.
