The image of the Bastar tea garden worker has been beautifully sculpted out of brass using the ancient dhokra technique. The figure contains some nice carvings on it and it reflects a sense of gracefulness and satisfaction. Dhokra is an ancient technique of crafting the brass statues and the lost wax method is applied to get the images. It is a laborious process associated with North Indian tribal groups. A model is sculpted of clay and dried in the sun; it is then covered with beeswax and more clay, forming a mold. The piece is cast, cleaned and again dried in the sun. Finally, it is heated in the ground for five days and polished.
