- Painted Rajasthan Set -
At 5.75" this is my largest Rajasthan set. It's nothing special, though. This one is probably 20th century but they still make them like this today. The carving is not as spectacular as my other sets in this style. Detail is created, instead, by richly painting the flat surfaces.
