Authentic Craftsmanship and Materials

Preserving Sri Lankan heritage and authenticity is the foundation of our entire collection. This Hand Painted Wooden Door Stopper is carefully sculpted and painted from sustainably sourced wood. Highly regarded for its durability, this timber is the perfect canvas for a premium authentic Sri Lankan souvenir.

The crafting process requires immense dedication and precision. The timber handle is first expertly turned on a lathe to create the perfect cylindrical shape, which is then securely fastened to the heavy wedge base.

After assembly, it is sanded to an incredibly smooth finish. Finally, the figures are brought to life using traditional hand painting techniques. The painters apply precise layers of vivid, long lasting pigments to achieve the intricate clothing details and facial features.
