{"product_id":"set-of-2-antique-finely-carved-agrarion-seeders","title":"Set of 2, Antique Finely Carved Agrarian Seeders","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese carved seeders are a pair of soulful artifacts that celebrate the deep connection between ancient agriculture and sacred art. Hand-carved from dense, indigenous hardwood, these Seeders served as the distribution funnels for horse-drawn planting systems in Northern India. Seed would be poured into the top and funneled through the four holes at the base into the earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe significance of this pair lies in their ornate, hand-incised iconography. One vessel features the Sacred Nandi, representing fertility and strength, while the other displays a traditional deity figure within an architectural arch. These motifs were more than decorative; they were ritual prayers for a successful harvest. The timber has developed a rich, \"crusty\" dark-walnut patina through decades of handling and exposure. Repurposed for the modern home, they serve as unique horizontal candle holders or exceptional sculptural \"found objects\" for a bookshelf or coffee table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Era: Early 20th Century\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Size: 5.5\" Diameter x 5\" H (Per seeder)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Material: Solid Hand-Carved Native Hardwood\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Color: Original Dark-Oxidized Patina with Ritual Carvings\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Features: Unique four-hole seed distribution base; hand-carved Nandi and Deity motifs; robust sculptural silhouette.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Origin: India\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Condition: Original Antique Condition.
