Metalwork & Brass
Twilight Brass Diya Ensemble
This ensemble features seven hand-cast brass diyas arranged on an etched tray depicting the Saptarishi constellation. When lit, the flickering flames create a mesmerising dance of light and shadow on surrounding walls. The brass is left unlacquered so it develops a living patina that grows more beautiful over the years.
The Story Behind
Little India is known as Singapore’s metalworking heartland and has been the island’s brasswork centre for generations. These diyas are shaped using techniques unchanged since the colonial era.
