RELLIK | Vintage Indian DHOKRA Brass / Bronze Sculpture
Late 19th-century Tribal India Dhokra 2 Villagers On A Horse.
L 40cm x H 26cm
Dhokra is a beautiful, ancient craft and amongst the oldest traditional techniques of bronze and copper-based alloy casting, in India, practiced for over 4,000 years. The lost wax technique, ‘cire perdue’ in French, is the medium of metalworkers in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Orissa, and West Bengal. This craft dates back to the pre-historic times of the Harappa and Mohenjodaro Civilizations.
Entirely handcrafted, the unique 13-stage process of Dhokra/ Bell metal making is an outcome of the original craft instinct handed down through the centuries. Dhokra/ Bell metal is an alloy of brass, nickel, and zinc that gives an antique effect to the castings.
Dhokra art is Chhattisgarh's famous art, making it a favourite folk style for many customers, collectors, decorators, furnishers, etc. Dhokra art is inspired by tribal themes of animals, mythical creatures, human creatures, natural shapes, etc. The region has a rich tradition of craft and culture. Dhokra is non–ferrous metal casting using the lost-wax casting technique. This sort of metal casting has been used in India for over 4,000 years and is still used. One of the earliest known lost wax artefacts is the dancing girl of Mohenjo-daro.
