The beautiful brass work on the traditional dhokra technique is a masterpiece itself. The work shows the tribal people in full spirit and joy. They are sitting on the branches of the tree and reveal a deep sense of self satisfaction and accomplishment. 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.
