Handcrafted Dhokra Art Brass & Natural Stone Bird Figurine
Variant A - Sleek & Tactile Heritage Fusion
Product Overview
Discover a mesmerizing blend of primal nature and centuries-old craftsmanship. This unique Dhokra Bird Figurine breaks away from traditional all-metal structures by seamlessly integrating a natural, smooth river stone as its core body, enveloped by exquisite lost-wax brass casting.
Every single piece is entirely unique, as the artisan carefully selects a distinct stone and molds the brass directly around its contours. The result is a stunning, tactile piece of heritage art that breathes life into any modern or traditional space.
The Story Behind the Craft
Dhokra (Dokra) is a non-ferrous metal casting technique using the lost-wax casting method, a heritage art form that dates back over 4,000 years to the Indus Valley Civilization.
In this rare, contemporary interpretation, our master artisans have married the timeless gleam of brass with the raw, earthy textures of natural stone. The stylized head, sweeping wings, and delicate tail of the bird are meticulously hand-modeled in wax, wrapped around the stone, and replaced with molten brass. Because no two stones are alike in shape, size, or hue, the piece you receive is an absolute one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
