Artistry of Dokra
Each sculpture is a unique masterpiece, meticulously handcrafted using the ancient **Dokra (or Dokra) lost-wax casting technique**, a non-ferrous metal craft practiced in India for over 4,000 years. The artisan first creates the figure in wax threads, covers it in clay, and then melts the wax away (the "lost wax"), leaving a hollow mold for the molten brass. This intricate, laborious process results in the **rustic, raw texture** and **antique patina** that is the signature of true tribal Dokra art.
