Craftsmanship & Origin
Dokra (Dhokra) craft is an ancient metal casting tradition practiced by tribal artisans in West Bengal. The craft uses the lost-wax casting method, where artisans first create the design using beeswax or paraffin wax.
The wax 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. After cooling, the clay mold is broken to reveal the final handcrafted metal piece.
