Price on request
Sang-e-Nakhoda — Stone of the Captain — is a tribute to Gulf maritime heritage cast permanently in Makrana White. The Nakhoda commanded the great trading dhows of the Arabian Sea for two thousand years, guiding cargoes of pearls, spices, and frankincense across open water on nothing but stars and knowledge. This sculpture belongs in the private offices of Gulf families, maritime institutions, and spaces where heritage is displayed without apology. It is the kind of object that stops a visitor mid-conversation.
