Dokra elephants. Handcrafted metal sculptures shaped through one of India’s oldest surviving metal casting traditions.

Crafted using the ancient Dokra art form, the elephant figurines are known for their raw textures, intricate detailing, and distinctive handcrafted character. Symbolising strength, wisdom, and prosperity, each piece is created through the traditional lost-wax casting technique where every sculpture is individually moulded by hand, making no two pieces exactly alike. The earthy metallic finish and tribal-inspired forms bring warmth and timeless artisanal richness into contemporary spaces.

The Sculptures Crafted using brass through the traditional lost-wax casting process, a centuries-old technique where a wax model is first shaped by hand and layered with clay.

Once heated, the wax melts away, leaving a cavity into which molten metal is poured. After cooling, the outer clay mould is broken to reveal the final form, making each piece entirely unique and impossible to replicate exactly.

Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth. Avoid excessive moisture and abrasive cleaners to preserve the natural metal finish.

Bastar, Chhattisgarh.
