Art: Dokra

Dokra art is a metal casting process that has been used for over 4,000 years and dates back to the Indus Valley Civilization. Its distinctive features include intricate motifs and a rough, tribal appearance. The Dokra Damar people of West Bengal, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, and Jharkhand practice this ancient art, which is inextricably linked to the country’s natural environment and culture. The artists frequently hunt the surrounding forests for charcoal, beeswax, and clay, all of which are natural materials utilized in the casting process. The lost wax technique is used to create a clay framework that is then used to cut out designs from wax. They then apply extra clay on top to form a mold. After the mold has been warmed with wood to burn off the wax, molten brass is poured into the unoccupied region. The clay has been broken to reveal the finished work once it has cooled, which is a great reflection of their culture, surroundings, and craft as artists.
