A charming set of five hand-carved wooden figurines depicting a traditional Indian folk music ensemble. Each figure — two female and three male — is shown with a musical instrument or in performance posture, including a tabla drum, a bowed sarangi, and wind instruments. Standing approximately 6 inches tall in warm honey-toned hardwood, likely sheesham (Indian rosewood), with finely detailed costuming, jewelry, and expressive faces carved entirely by hand.

The female figures wear intricately pleated skirts with carved bead necklaces and bangles, while the male figures are dressed in traditional dhoti and kurta with turbans or wrapped headcoverings. The carving throughout is accomplished folk-art work — textile folds, facial features, and instrument details are all rendered with care and confidence. Two figures stand on decorative carved bases

Natural patina and visible tool marks are consistent with mid-20th century Indian folk art, most likely from Rajasthan or Uttar Pradesh, where this style of carved hardwood figurine was a well-established craft tradition. A wonderful display grouping for collectors of South Asian folk art, world music culture, or global decorative objects. All five figures are structurally sound; minor surface wear consistent with age and handling.

Sold as a set of five. Price is for the complete ensemble.
