Key Features:
Traditional Dhokra Casting: The striking TURTLE, known as ‘Kurama,’ is brought to life using the age-old Dhokra casting method. This honoured technique is celebrated for its remarkable craftsmanship, passed down through generations.
Clay Core Molding: The Dhokra casting process commences with the creation of a clay core that closely resembles the final image of ‘Kurama.’ This core serves as a mold for the molten metal that is expertly poured into it. As the molten metal cools and hardens, it assumes the intricate form of the wax model. After the metal has fully set, the outer layer of clay is gently removed, unveiling the beautifully cast metal icon. Artisans then meticulously polish and refine the piece to perfection.
Each piece of Dhokra art, such as this representation of ‘Kurama,’ stands as a testament to the rich heritage and masterful artistry of the Dhokra Damar tribes. It embodies the tradition of casting, a legacy preserved through generations, resulting in an exquisite and timeless work of art, deeply rooted in cultural significance. ‘Kurama’ the turtle adds an extra layer of meaning and symbolism to this already remarkable creation.
