Dokra Art

Dokra art is a unique and ancient Indian metal craft, renowned for its lost-wax casting technique (cire perdue). Artisans create hollow, non-ferrous metal objects, often depicting deities, animals, and tribal life, without any joints. Its key features are the rustic, antique finish and the intricate detailing achieved through a wax and clay mould process. Culturally, it's significant as it represents the rich heritage of tribal craftsmanship and is a sustainable livelihood for many artisan families, preserving a centuries-old tradition.
