Acknowledged as the earliest known method of non-ferrous metal casting known to mankind, this folk art originated in the heartlands of West Bengal almost 3500 years ago and is done by the traditional metalsmiths, ‘The Dhokra Damar Tribes’.  Artisans these days create various figurines and models of gods, goddesses, animals, birds, carts, and even jewelry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dokra art uses the ‘lost-wax process’ to form brass models. A replica of the desired product is first made with wax over a clay core and upon which the finer details of designs and decorations are then delicately crafted. Thereafter another layer of soft clay is applied to cover the entire model. After sun drying, molten brass is poured through a small hole which melts away the wax with the molten brass filling up space. Finally, after cooling and with the removal of the outer clay layer, the \u003cb\u003eexquisite work of art\u003c\/b\u003e emerges and its \u003cb\u003eunpolished look\u003c\/b\u003e is kept intact. \u003cb\u003eNo external chemical polish\u003c\/b\u003e is applied on the same.
