Dokra Tribal Figures in Daily Life Poses
Each figure portraying a unique role and activity. The figures are elongated and adorned with minimalist yet detailed patterns, characteristic of the Dokra metalwork tradition. The figure on the left appears to be holding a drum and stick, possibly engaged in a traditional dance or ritual. The middle figure is holding a pot, symbolizing water gathering or preparation. The figure on the right balances a bowl on her head while carrying something in her arm, representing everyday tasks like transporting goods. These figures exemplify the traditional lost-wax casting method, resulting in a rustic yet elegant look. Their elongated forms and simple detailing reflect the essence of tribal lifestyle and community values, preserving the cultural heritage of Indian folk art through metal sculpture.
