Clay Models
Lucknow, Delhi, Ambala & Jaipur
Figures, scenes, and models of fruits and vegetables were made at Lucknow, Delhi, Ambala & Jaipur in what used to be known in Pre-Independence era as North-Western Provinces. These modellers did not use actual heir, wool, pieces of clothing and other accessories for the decoration of the miniature figures, but made them in clay, which gave them more durability, though not the same life-like character as those of Krishnanagar. Small figures coloured in imitation of terra-cotta made them look particularly good.
