Dokra Brass Statue of a Woman & a Lamp
Regular price
£25.00
A dokra statue of a woman offering an oil lamp.
Dokra is one of the ancient metal casting crafts of India that dates back over 4000 years. A rough clay shape is covered in wax that is finely carved to create the final shape of the statue. This is then covered in clay with a drain duct for the wax to excape in the next stage when molten brass is poured into the mould.
The surprising weight of this delightful statue is partly due to the original clay core.
Dimensions: H9.5 W4.5 D9.5cm
