About
Hand-beaten copper vessels, ritual items, and utensils made by the Tamta community of Almora, shaped from flat copper sheets using traditional hammering techniques passed down through generations.
Did you know? A single large copper vessel can take a Tamta artisan several days of continuous hammering to shape, and the craft takes its name directly from the Tamta community whose traditional occupation this has been for centuries.
