Lata - Tholu Bommalatha Art from Andhra Pradesh

Cut form. Story in shadow

Shadow, leather, figure, and story in movement.

Lata gathers Tholu Bommalatha from Andhra Pradesh, where leather puppetry carries story, figure, and performance memory. These pieces bring a dramatic narrative tradition into the home through form and silhouette.

They are chosen for spaces that can hold story as object — a wall, shelf, or corner where performance memory remains visible.

Tradition: Narrative

What it carries: Puppet, shadow, story, leather, performance, and memory.

For the home: Wall, shelf, study, hallway, child’s room, or collected story corner.

Lata lives through the memory of movement. Even in stillness, the figure carries performance and story.

For a Collected Heritage Home

Lata belongs in a collected heritage home because it preserves performance tradition through placement and sight. It brings Tholu Bommalatha into the life of the home through cut surface, painted figure, and the quiet continuity of a tradition meant to be seen, returned to, and lived with over time.
