Description

A typical Karuwa is a Newari vessel used to store, drink, and serve water. Palpa, Tansen of Nepal, is famous for producing this metal craft, which is especially used in the daily households of the Newar Community. It is one of the traditional water bottles and serves a great purpose to Nepali’s core heritage and culture. These vessels are either made of honey wax, Palpali bronze, or brass and have moderate to exquisite carvings on them.

Care Instructions

Origin & Cultural Heritage

Originating from Taksar Tole in Tansen, Palpa, the Palpali Karuwa emerged during the Rana regime, when Newar artisans migrated from Kathmandu to establish metalcraft workshops, including minting and the crafting of bronzeware.
