Holding an axe on his right hand and the vessel on his left, the forest dweller is on his way to the forest to collect foodstuff and other essentials. The figure reveals a deep sense of self satisfaction and accomplishment as the tribal people are proud of their hard work and self esteem. The body is also adorned nicely with lot of tribal ornaments. This lovely work is crafted with the ancient dhokra technique, a laborious lost wax process practiced in the region. First, 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.
