X are famous for their light weight, vibrant colors and age-old production techniques. The art of making X shows the strong influence of Islamic style and pointed nose of the human figures is reminiscent of the 17th century Rajasthani style. The artisans who make X are known as ‘Aryakshatriyas’. It is said that these craftsmen migrated from Rajasthan to Kondapalli around the 16th century bringing with them the art of crafting toys. This 400-year old tradition has passed on from generation to generation with every member taking part in the toy-making activity in ‘Toy Colony’ of Kondapalli. Traditionally X were used during Sankriti and Navrathri, when women assemble toys known as Bommala Koluvu. ID X.
