An unbroken continuation of the lost-wax technique that was first used in the Indian subcontinent during the Harappan civilization, the Dhokra art of Central India represents the richness of the country’s heritage. Made in the idiom of Dhokra, this brass elephant embodies the aesthetic sense of the tribes who are the preservers and artisans. Standing firmly on its four legs, the elephant though a stylized depiction, captures the essence of the animal- powerful and tranquil.
Beautiful patterns, characteristic of Dhokra art, cover the entire artwork. In his trunk raised in the air, the elephant holds a flower, as if offering it to someone. With hollow casting, eye-catching details on the elephant's body are realized, which are marked by tiny cowrie-shaped motifs. A remembrance of the undying art tradition of India, this Dhokra elephant is a marvel to add to your home decor.
