[Solid Bronze Wild Boar Sculpture] This piece is an outstanding example of tribal art, created using the ancient lost-wax casting technique. The figure represents a wild boar with complex ornamentation that denotes a high level of craftsmanship.
History: This sculpture is linked to the Dhokra tradition, one of India's oldest forms of metallurgy, practiced by nomadic tribes for millennia. The design is characterized by its structure of interlaced metal wires forming a mesh pattern over the animal's body, a distinctive signature of artisans from the Bastar region. Each piece is unique, as the clay mold is broken to extract the molten metal.
