Why Choose Dokra Art?

Dokra casting is a painstaking process where the design is meticulously sculpted in wax threads, covered in clay, and then the wax is melted away ("lost"), creating a mold for the molten metal. This unique process ensures the finished sculpture has an antique, raw, and **deeply artistic appeal** that cannot be replicated by modern techniques.
