The Dhokra tribal artist is playing the veena in a most natural way. One of the most primitive tribal art forms in India, Dhokra Art is created by using the Lost Wax Process (Cire Perdue). In India, this process dates back over 5000 years to the Indus Valley Civilization. Their art pieces speak about the plain and simple tribal life, way of living and their aspirations and hopes.
The beautiful image of the porcupine is crafted out of brass in the traditional dhokra format. Dhokra is a crafting tradition associated mainly with the tribal groups of northern India, including Vindhyas and the Eastern Ghats, Bihar and its surroundings, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh and West Bengal. Numerous images are cast in the dhokra tradition as artisans preserve their millenary culture, custom and belief through the wondrous pieces they create.
