A carved mango wood cow head, painted entirely by hand, in nine colourways. The horns sweep up in one clean line from the brow, the ears flare outward, and the face carries a different freehand motif in every colour — a lotus on the yellow, fine white line work on the red, a gold panel on the blue.

How it is made
Each head is cut from a single block of mango wood and shaped by hand before any paint touches it. The painting is the slow part — fine brush line work laid over a base coat by artisans who have been painting this one form for years. The eye, the brow motif, the beaded collar: all freehand. What arrives is one craftsman’s afternoon of work, not a moulded copy off a line.
The nine colours
White-Orange, Yellow, Brown, Green, Orange, Blue, Purple, Red and White. This is the widest palette we carry in the cow head form, and it is the reason most people start here — you can pick a set that works together rather than settling for what is in stock.
Where it goes
Entryways and stairwell walls. Above a console, a sofa or a fireplace. Gallery walls, grouped with painted wooden wall plates. Vastu-minded homes often place them on the north-east wall. The silhouette reads as farmhouse as much as Indian, which is why it works in rooms where nothing else is Indian.
Hanging it
There is a keyhole slot in a flat plate on the back. Drive a screw or a nail with a head into the wall, leave it standing a few millimetres proud, and drop the keyhole over it. At 850 g a drywall anchor is plenty — but a bare pushpin is not enough to hold it. Screws and wall anchors are not supplied.
Care
Dust with a dry cloth. Keep it out of prolonged direct sunlight so the colours hold. Do not use water or solvent cleaners on the painted surface.

Packaged safely and received quickly. I wish the ears held in place better.
Can't get enough of it.. Exceptionally pretty!
Check out my other review I wrote that is more detailed. These cows are STUNNING in person!! I got 2 to go w a mirror from the same shop. They complement the mirror perfectly. Each cow is its own piece of art - unique in its own way but the colors complement the other pieces beautifully!! If you are on the fence, I say go for it!! These are beautiful accents to add color, interest, & cultural significance to your space!
Menaka the shop owner is friendly & helpful. Quick to resolve any issues if they arise.
I am a returning customer to this shop & have found that they offer beautiful hand made pieces at a fraction of the price I see other shops offer. The free & fast shipping is a big bonus as well.
I bought 2 of these cows to hang on my wall as accents to a beautiful large mirror I had also bought from this shop. Menaka was very helpful while I tried to choose 2 cows that would complement eachother. She even offered to send me photos of some that she hadn’t listed yet.
I was SO impressed when they arrived!! Super vibrant colors and they each are unique but complement the other. Very happy customer!! Can’t wait to hang them on my wall!
Beautiful pieces and Love the Cow Heads on my NE corners , and I was looking for blues and greens for NE , This totally fits in xx. 😘 so well designed pieces.
This looks exactly as described in the picture. Very high quality material.
Good item…colors are exactly as pictured.
The product is good overall. However the ears do not always fit properly. It would be nice if some quality check is done before shipping.
Stunning stunning stunning... Absolutely loved it.. Artwork on the cowheads are soo well done!
Just as described. Quality and finish are great
The seller was very quick to answer inquiries, the pieces are all unique, even the ones that have the same background color. Pieces arrived quickly and were well wrapped.
