Tribes India presents Dhokra metal casting. Dhokra is a tribal metal craft that is practiced by artisans of Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha and Bengal. It involves patterning a clay core intricately with wax ribbons and then coating it carefully with a mix of clay and hay. The wax is subsequently melted off, and the cavity is filled with molten metal. When this solidifies, the craftsman reveals the beauty of his creation by cautiously breaking the outer clay layer.
Dhokra is considered highly labour intensive because even a simple piece requires 4-5 days whereas complicated designs may require 2-3 weeks. This elephant is an classical example of Dhokra Metal Craft, this standing Elephant making is done by combining the metallurgical skills with that of the lost wax technique. The handicrafts are known for combining metallurgical skills with wax techniques for making artefacts of distinctive look and beauty.
