Heritage In Miniature: The Beypore Uru (Big)
CUL0138
Miniature Beypore Uru - a classic handcrafted piece of maritime artistry that captures the essence of India's seafaring heritage. Crafted with passion and precision, this miniature marvel boasts a soft, lightweight frame that's easy to handle and display. Made from soft wood and premium off-white fabric for sails, it adds a touch of elegance reminiscent of the grandeur of traditional Beypore Uru vessels that once sailed the Arabian Sea.
The Beypore Uru is a traditional wooden dhow handcrafted in Beypore, a small port town in Kerala. For over 1,500 years, master craftsmen known as Khalasis have built these magnificent vessels using ancient techniques passed down through generations. These ships were once the backbone of maritime trade between India, the Middle East, and beyond, carrying spices, timber, and goods across the seas.
This miniature replica faithfully recreates the distinctive features of the Beypore Uru, including the characteristic hull design with its graceful curves and sturdy construction, traditional fabric sails that billow as if catching the ocean breeze, intricate wooden detailing that showcases the craftsmanship of Beypore's artisans, and authentic proportions that honor the original vessel's majestic form.
Each miniature is handcrafted by skilled artisans who understand the heritage and significance of these historic ships. The soft wood construction makes it lightweight yet durable, while the off-white fabric sails add an authentic touch. This piece serves as both a decorative showpiece and a tribute to Kerala's rich maritime history.
Perfect for display in living rooms, offices, study rooms, or as a meaningful gift for those who appreciate maritime history, traditional craftsmanship, or Kerala's cultural heritage.
