Dokra art products

Dokra art is a traditional art of Jharkhand. It is also practiced in the neighboring states sharing common political boundaries and similar cultures. It is basically a brass-work (Metal Craft) done by the Malhore castes of the state.
Brass is a combination of copper and bronze. The artisans of Jharkhand practice the traditional “Lost Wax Technique” to craft their immigrations. The craft is described by its primitive simplicity, rustic beauty, and imaginative designs and patterns. The products are handcrafted and may have slight inconsistencies that are a natural outcome of human involvement in the process.
