Traditionally used in Central and Northern India for sowing seeds, this hand carved wooden seeder once formed part of an agricultural implement used during planting. Carved with geometric motifs and figures, including cattle and deities, these seeders demonstrate how everyday agricultural tools were often embellished with symbolic imagery.

No longer common in daily agricultural use, these seeders are now appreciated as collectible folk art and sculptural decorative objects. This piece has been thoughtfully adapted to hold a pillar candle, giving it a new purpose while preserving its original form.
