It is made using the Etikoppaka Bommalu technique, a turned-wood lacquer craft from Andhra Pradesh where wood is shaped on a lathe and finished with hand-painted color.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow is this different from Zishta's Wooden Tea Seller, Tender Coconut Seller and Potter dolls?\u003cbr\u003eAll four are Etikoppaka vendor and household-scene dolls of a similar size, but each shows a different everyday activity. This one shows a woman churning buttermilk, while the others show a tea seller, a coconut seller and a potter. They're meant to be collected as separate pieces in a household-scene doll set.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoes the churning stick actually move inside the pot?\u003cbr\u003eNo, the stick is fixed in place as part of the decorative scene, not a working mechanism.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIs this doll safe to keep around young children?\u003cbr\u003eIt's best kept as a display piece rather than a plaything, since the small painted pieces aren't meant for handling by young children.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Zishta","offers":[{"title":"1 Piece","offer_id":44994915074099,"sku":"ZTYM111","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9772\/0115\/files\/wooden-buttermilk-maker-etikoppaka-golu-doll-zishta-traditional-dolls-toys.webp?v=1791462349","url":"https:\/\/desilocal.co\/products\/zishta-wooden-buttermilk-maker","provider":"Desi Local Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
