The Lore of Dhokra Metal Casting

Preserving Centuried Odia Mastercraft

Rooted in an unbroken 4,000-year-old metallurgical lineage dating back to Mohenjo-Daro, this Dhokra elephant is forged without any industrial machinery. Tribal artisans create a core of alluvial river clay, coat it with spiraled beeswax strings to form the ceremonial saddle, bells, and tusk adornments, and encase it in a kiln mold that is sacrificed during the molten brass pour.

Artisan Lore & Symbolism:No two Dhokra pieces can ever be identical. Because the outer clay mold must be broken to release the molten metal sculpture, each elephant represents an individual, unrepeatable work of primal tribal devotion.
