… Read more Hand-cast in brass using the traditional Dhokra lost-wax method, this sculptural figure captures the narrative poise of Indian tribal metalwork.

The standing woman balances a vessel at her shoulder while a child stands at her side, their elongated proportions and linear surface patterning characteristic of individually modeled wax forms. Rhythmic detailing across jewelry and garments animates the composition while preserving the directness of folk expression.

Produced in the mid- to late-20th century, the figure reflects a continuum of artisanal practice valued for its authenticity and cultural storytelling. At 15 inches in height, it presents strong presence on a console, shelf, or curated vignette.
