Clay Bommalu (Matti Bommalu) — Handmade Terracotta Dolls

Clay Bommalu, or Matti Bommalu (మట్టి బొమ్మలు) — traditional handmade clay dolls and figurines, hand-shaped and painted by artisans. Ideal for festival displays, home decor and gifting. Shop our clay bommalu collection online, delivered across India.

How clay bommalu are made

Matti Bommalu start with banka matti (బంక మట్టి), the sticky clay used for modelling. It is cleaned and kneaded until it is smooth enough to hold detail. Artisans shape each figure by hand, often taking the basic form from a simple mould and then finishing the features, folds and ornament by hand.

The shaped pieces dry slowly in the shade before firing, and are painted once they have cooled. Terracotta takes colour warmly, which is why these figures look softer and richer than a moulded resin equivalent.

What you will find in this collection

• Buddha Buddhi pairs, in sitting and standing forms and a range of sizes.
• Devotional figures including Ashta Lakshmi, Goda Devi, Navadurga and Dashavatharam sets.
• Fruit and vegetable sets for festival and table display.
• Village-life scenes and figure sets, including the freedom-fighter series.
• Ammavaru faces and other wall and shelf pieces.

Handling clay figures

• Terracotta chips more easily than wood, so keep pieces away from table edges and busy surfaces.
• Dust with a dry, soft brush rather than a cloth, which can catch on fine detail.
• Keep them dry: unglazed clay absorbs moisture.
• Store in the original packing with padding between pieces, never stacked directly.

Festival displays, decor and gifting

Clay figures are a staple of Bommala Koluvu displays at Sankranti and Dasara, and single pieces work equally well as year-round decor.

Sets can be supplied in bulk for retailers, gift stores and event planners, with delivery across India. Contact us for wholesale pricing.
