Craft: This piece is handcrafted using the traditional Dhokra craft known as the lost-wax technique that dates back to almost 4000 yrs old. The process includes using beeswax in clay moulds core with all its finer details of designs and decorations that are then sundried and then fired in the Bhatti (traditional kiln). When the entire wax has come out of the model, molten brass is poured in through the same holes. The process of making Dhokra is fascinating and uses only natural raw materials. Crafted out of metal through indigenous methods, the distinctive design and form of Dhokra craft reflects the inherent expression of the master craftsmen's feelings.
