A wall clock cut to the profile of a shikara, the wooden boat that has worked Dal Lake for generations, carved in genuine Kashmiri walnut wood.
Product Overview
Roughly 14 inches across, this is a mid-size piece that reads clearly as both a clock and a sculpture. The hull, canopy and prow are carved by hand, with the dial set into the body of the boat.
About Kashmiri Walnut Wood
Kashmir is the only region in India where walnut trees grow at the altitude required for dense, close-grained timber. The wood is naturally rich brown, takes fine detail without splitting, and darkens gracefully with age.
Craftsmanship
The outline is cut from a solid walnut panel, then hull, canopy and prow detailing are carved by hand into that shape. The finish is natural throughout.

Story Behind the Craft
Walnut wood carving settled in Kashmir centuries ago and stayed, largely because the Valley grows the timber the craft needs. Walnut at Kashmir's altitude is dense enough to hold a chisel line without crumbling.
This piece carries the shikara, the wooden boat of Dal Lake and the single most recognisable image associated with Kashmir. The work is slow, and no machine produces this surface.

FAQs
Does it come with a battery?
It takes a standard single-cell battery, easily available locally. Batteries are not shipped because couriers restrict cell transport.
Is the shikara shape carved or cut out?
Both. The outline is cut from a solid walnut panel, then the hull, canopy and prow detailing are carved by hand into that shape.
Will each clock look identical?
No. The silhouette stays consistent but grain pattern and fine carving lines differ on every piece, since each one is worked by hand.
Is this real Kashmiri walnut wood?
Yes. Solid walnut grown in the Kashmir Valley, sourced directly from artisan workshops, not veneer over composite board.
How do I clean and maintain it?
Wipe with a dry soft cloth. Never use water, chemical cleaners or spray polish. Keep away from damp walls and direct sunlight.
