The set in this listing is portraits and elephants rather than deities: a Rajasthani man in a red turban, a woman in a headscarf, a couple, a jewelled princess in profile, and two elephant designs. Painted on the same 10-inch varnished MDF disc as the rest of the range, on polka-dot and flat-colour grounds that put them closer to boho decor than to devotional art.

Why these work on a wall
460 g each - about a pound. That is the number that makes a gallery wall of these practical: a single small nail or a rated pushpin holds one, so you can hang five or six without touching a stud, and move them when the arrangement is wrong. The varnish coat is what keeps the paint from scuffing when you take them down and put them back up.
Which of the six
- BohoMan - a man's face in a red turban with a gold earring
- BohoWoman - a woman's face in a green headscarf on yellow
- BohoCouple - the two together on a black polka-dot ground
- WhiteElephant - an elephant design on a dotted ground
- AmbawariElephant - an elephant in full ambawari regalia
- RajKumari - a princess in profile with jewellery and a lotus, on black
BohoMan, BohoWoman and BohoCouple hang naturally as a trio with the couple in the middle. The two elephants pair with each other. Rajkumari holds a wall on her own. Check the photographs against the design names before choosing.
Where they go
Stair walls, entryway walls, above a console or a sideboard, in a kitchen nook, or filling the awkward vertical strip beside a doorway that nothing else fits. A single plate reads as an accent; three or more read as a collection. They also sit well interleaved with a wooden cow or elephant head from the same range.
The other plate designs
Twenty-one designs are spread across four listings, all the same 10-inch plate at the same price. This one carries six boho portrait and elephant designs. The others are the six Pichwai cow designs, the four Krishna, peacock and cow designs and the five deity and Vrindavan designs. Mix freely - they were made to hang together.
Hanging them
A hook is already fitted to the back of each plate. At 460 g a small nail or a heavy-duty pushpin is enough - no anchors needed. For a group, lay the plates out on the floor first and photograph the arrangement before you put a single hole in the wall.
Care
Wipe with a soft cloth. Glass cleaner applied to the cloth rather than sprayed will lift finger marks off the varnish. Do not soak them and do not put them in a dishwasher - they are painted MDF, not ceramic.
