The Banyan or the Indian Fig is the national tree of India. A flourishing symbol of longevity, the largest banyan tree of India is said to be over 250 years old and spreads over 4.67 acres in Howrah (West Bengal). For thousands of years, people have used various parts of the banyan as medicine. Even today, many villages in India have their meetings in the shade of their own banyan.
Color : reddish brown terracotta bricks
Apply a mild glue to stick the bricks together. To reuse the bricks, gently prise apart and peel off the dried glue.
Kattoos can leave a fine clay residue as you create. This is a natural quality of the eco-friendly product and not a defect.
The brick size may vary slightly as these are hand-crafted bricks.
