About the Artwork +

This captivating Dhokra artwork by Anil Baghmare features a meticulously crafted turtle statue in golden bronze, embodying the essence of traditional Indian folk art. The turtle, symbolizing longevity and stability, is depicted with an intricately patterned shell adorned with concentric circles and floral motifs. The artist’s skilled use of the lost-wax casting technique is evident in the statue's finely detailed texture and the harmonious proportions of the turtle's body. The head, extending forward, displays expressive features, adding a lifelike quality to the piece. The legs and tail, though simplified, are rendered with an elegant touch that complements the overall design. The golden bronze material not only enhances the intricate details but also lends a timeless, enduring appeal to the statue. This piece is a testament to the rich heritage of Dhokra art, reflecting the artisanal skill and cultural significance embedded in this centuries-old craft. Anil Baghmare’s work captures the spirit of traditional artistry while creating a decorative object that can serve as a meaningful addition to any collection, celebrating the blend of aesthetic beauty and cultural symbolism inherent in Dhokra sculptures.

    Dhokra


    Dokra art, also known as Dhokra, is an ancient form of metal casting that originated in the tribal regions of India. This traditional craft is renowned for its unique, rustic charm and intricate designs. This craft is practiced by skilled artisans belonging to various tribal communities across states such as West Bengal, Odisha, Jharkhand, and Chhattisgarh. Dokra art encompasses a wide range of themes and motifs, drawing inspiration from nature, mythology, and tribal life. Common motifs include animals like elephants, horses, and birds, as well as human figures depicting deities, dancers, and everyday activities.  History and Legend The history of Dokra art can be traced back to the Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa civilizations. According to legend, the craft of Dokra was gifted to the tribes by divine beings, who imparted the knowledge of metal casting techniques to the artisans. Over the centuries, Dokra art has been passed down from generation to generation, preserving its authenticity and cultural significance. Technique and Tradition Dokra art is characterized by its unique method of metal casting, which involves using the lost wax technique. Artisans begin by creating a clay model, which is then coated with layers of beeswax and resin. Intricate patterns and details are meticulously handcrafted onto the wax surface. Next, the clay mold is prepared by covering the wax model with a mixture of clay, rice husks, and other organic materials. Once the mold is dried, it is heated in a furnace, causing the wax to melt and flow out (hence the term "lost wax"). Molten metal, typically brass or bronze, is then poured into the cavity left by the melted wax. After cooling, the mold is broken to reveal the solid metal sculpture, which is then polished and finished by the artisans.
