Miniature Clay Toys of Lucknow
Theme Based Toys

Preparing Clay
Special black clay is used for making these toys. This clay is procured from the mud collectors who source it from a special area of Lucknow called the Kaala Pahaad (black mountain). Pieces of solid clay are broken down and mixed with water. This is sieved through a fine mesh to remove tiny stone pieces and then left to dry for two days. This makes it of the right consistency for casting.
