This duck shaped box in handcrafted in Dhokra. Dhokra is a non ferrous- metal casting using the lost wax technique.
It is a tribal art form and has been practiced in India for over 4000 years and
is even made today. There are two main processes of lost wax casting: solid
casting and hollow casting. While the former is predominant in the south of
India the latter is more common in Central and Eastern India. Dhokra art is
named after the Dhokra Damar tribes, who are the main traditional metal smiths
of West Bengal and Odisha. Dhokra artwork from Orissa is made with thin wires
while the one from Chhattisgarh is made with flat metal. This product is suitable for gifting purpose.
