Craftsmanship & Origin
Dokra (Dhokra) craft is an ancient tribal metal casting tradition practiced by artisans in West Bengal. The craft uses the lost-wax casting technique, where artisans first create a detailed wax model of the design.
The model is then covered with a mixture of clay and rice husk to form a mold. When heated, the wax melts away and molten metal is poured into the mold cavity. Natural materials such as coal, tree resin, and nut oil are used during the process. Once cooled, the clay mold is broken to reveal the final handcrafted piece.
