This stone turban hanger (called a khunti in Hindi) has been carved in the shape of a parrot.

Originating in Dungarpur in the Banswara tribal area of Rajasthan, this would have been used daily for turbans or a clothes peg They are often seen in palaces & houses of the wealthier classes, normally plastered into the wall, and other animals like horses and peacock are quite common too.

We've paired it with an iron stand which displays it perfectly. A unique and quirky piece of social history, a decorative conversation starter.
