The ‘Mohenjo-Daro’ (Terracotta Artifact)

Description

This bouquet is a profound departure from fresh flowers: a rigid, structural, abstract arrangement presented like a newly discovered Bronze Age relic. It features a few sturdy, dark brown dried lotus pods, twisted structural pieces of dried desert Ker wood, and a cluster of deep, dusty orange-brown ‘terracotta’ colored local roses, appearing aged and textural. The base is not wrapped; it is encased in a custom-shaped, textured ceramic cuff designed to look like unglazed ancient Indus Valley pottery, featuring subtle, incised geometric patterns. Dramatic high-contrast side-lighting emphasizes dry textures and coarse ceramic details.
