Description
The Dokra Man Figure Candle Stand is a decorative metal piece that combines tribal sculpture with functional lighting. The design features a stylized male tribal figure crafted in the distinctive Dokra style, holding or supporting a candle holder.
The sculpture showcases intricate patterns and textured surfaces that highlight the rustic charm of traditional Dokra metalwork. When a candle is placed on the stand and lit, it creates a warm and artistic ambiance, making it both a practical and decorative addition to any space.
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 a wax model of the design is first created.
The wax model is coated 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 piece. Since the mold is broken during casting, each Dokra Man Figure Candle Stand is unique.
