This stunning wooden box has a cover with the Dhokra box designed on it.
Dhokra art is non–ferrous metal casting using the lost wax casting technique. Dhokra
is a beautiful, ancient craft and amongst the oldest traditional techniques of
metal casting in India, practiced for over 4,000 years. The lost wax technique,
cire perdue is the medium of metalworkers in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh,
Odisha and West Bengal. This craft dates back to pre-historic times of the
Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro Civilizations. Entirely handcrafted, the unique 13
stage process of Dhokra / Bell metal making is an outcome of the original craft
instinct handed down through the centuries. Dhokra / Bell metal is an alloy of
brass, nickel and zinc that gives an antique effect to the castings.
