The whole piece is hand-forged from wrought iron by artisans in the Bastar district of Chhattisgarh, shaped one strike at a time. At 10 inches long and 500 grams, it sits on a shelf or mantel with real presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"61\" data-end=\"504\"\u003eBastar ironwork is one of India's protected craft traditions, registered under the Geographical Indication (GI) system — meaning the craft, the region, and the people making it are formally recognized as irreplaceable. The boat is a recurring motif in Bastar storytelling, representing the journey of life; the musicians represent the role of music through every season and gathering. Each figure is forged separately and joined by hand, which is why no two boats are ever identical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"61\" data-end=\"504\"\u003e10 × 4 in (approx. 25 × 10 cm) · 500 g · Hand-forged wrought iron · Dust with a soft dry cloth · Bastar, Chhattisgarh, India\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WILLAGE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41599607930983,"sku":"WLG-SCULPT-BASTAR-MUSICBOAT-001","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/7373\/1687\/files\/WILLAGE_Music_Boat_Bastar_Wrought_Iron_Lifestyle_Styled.j.jpg?v=1776010942","url":"https:\/\/willage.life\/products\/the-music-boat-bastar-wrought-iron-sculpture","provider":"WILLAGE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
