How it is made
Sand cast, hand engraved, lacquer finished.
Brass is melted and poured into sand moulds, cooled, then turned on a lathe to true the shape. Engravers cut the pattern by hand with a hammer and chisel. The piece is polished on a buffing wheel and sealed with a clear lacquer so it stays bright without weekly cleaning.

- Meet the maker Mohd. Irfan and family, Peetal Nagri Working since 1978. “A good urli rings when you tap it. If it sounds dull, the brass is thin. Ours ring.”
