SLT’s 2021 calendar features brassware of Sri Lanka

For over a decade, Sri Lanka Telecom (SLT) has emphasised their aim to bring the value, beauty, reflection, pride and immortality of Sri Lankan culture to the forefront through the annual calendar, in different artistic ways under the main theme ‘Preserving Heritage for tomorrow’. For the year 2020, SLT focused on the ‘Narration of Art’, considering how mediums of art are combined with different and unique techniques to communicate people’s imagination. The year before (2019), SLT dedicated their calendar to the ‘Splendours of Water’, with each month highlighting a different way in which water is utilized in Sri Lanka. To continue this great effort, SLT launched ‘Brassware of Sri Lanka’ as the calendar theme for the year 2021, to educate the future generations on Sri Lanka’s rich brassware craftsmanship.

Compiled in collaboration with the Department of National Museums, the SLT Calendar, 2021 depicts a cultural and artistic cross-section of ancient brassware emulating the richness of Sri Lankan heritage.

It focuses on the ‘Golden Age’ of Sri Lankan Brassware manufacturing in the Kandyan Period.
