Dokra Metal Art of Bengal

Drawing inspiration from the Indus Valley civilization, one of the world's earliest urban cultures, Dokra art employs the lost-wax casting technique, a method believed to have been practiced since the days of the Indus Valley. This intricate craftsmanship is characterized by its intricate designs and motifs that often depict themes from nature and mythology. The artisans use a mixture of metals, predominantly brass, to create stunning figures, utensils, and ornamental pieces, each resonating with a sense of history and cultural significance.
