Dhokra Craft

Long before faster and cheaper methods of making products came into being, the traditional metal-smith tribes of India “Dhokra Damar” used to carve on wax to make ‘Bell Metal’ sculptures. They were nomads traveling from village to village, fixing up old utensils and selling their lost-wax brass figurines. Their detailed depictions of Gods and Goddesses, intricate lamps, bells and ornaments were greatly revered. This ancient lost-wax casting technique creates unique bell metal handicrafts, a true identity of tribal art.
