Dhokra art, originating from the tribal communities in regions like West Bengal, Odisha, and Madhya Pradesh, is renowned for its delicate yet robust craftsmanship. It is made using the Dhokra technique (also spelled Dokra) and dates to the 18th century. The process is commonly known as Cire Perdue.
A Dhokra Brass Box is a traditional Indian handcrafted decorative box, made using the ancient lost-wax casting technique, known for its intricate designs and antique look. The box is typically made of brass, a metal that gives it a warm, golden sheen.
The box can be used for storing small items, as a decorative piece in homes or offices, or as a gift. The detailed, often slightly asymmetrical designs highlight the artisan’s skill, making each box a one-of-a-kind creation.
