The womenfolk of the patua-painter community make these unique clay dolls. The mother and child duo is one remarkable specimen in a series of colourful hand-pressed dolls.
 
The distinctiveness of these dolls, lies in the primitive look which resembles the Garuda (Eagle).
 
These rare clay dolls are crafted by Phooljaan Chitrakar of West Midnapore district; who is an accomplished creator of these dolls.
 
The art is confined among the women patuas (clay sculptors) of East and West Midnapore. The figure is carved from soft clay. The model is then sundried and fired. Finally the dolls are painted with home-made herbal colours.
