West Medinapur, West Bengal
As a second-generation artisan, Achintya preserves the traditional processes while adapting to evolving market needs. In recent years, the declining availability of horn has encouraged the family to innovate by integrating teak wood into their process, allowing the craft to evolve without losing its essence.

about craft
Medinipur Horn Craft from West Bengal is a traditional material-based craft practiced using buffalo horn, valued for its durability, smooth finish, and natural translucence. Artisans soften the horn with controlled heat, then bend, carve, and polish it by hand. Inspired by local rivers and fauna, the craft has evolved from everyday objects to refined sculptural forms.
