The eggs are made with a mixture of different clays found in villages across Kutch, which is then prepared for 10 to 15 days before baking. The Japanese fire-glazing technique of Raku gives each egg an extraordinary intensity. Even if fired together, every egg catches a distinct pattern, with no two pieces ever looking alike, like a thumbprint. The monochrome eggs depict the Rann of Kutch, a stark white salt marsh with inky black soil beneath; while the nature-hued eggs whisper the landscapes across Kutch, from the verdant hues of cacti to the weathered browns on the stones.
The base of each nest is nestled upon a looped holder made using a braided rope.
