Shaw Artist Bio & Reviews ...I encountered the distressing conditions of artisans engaged in bronze dhokra arts in Bengal and the neighboring provinces. View other items by this artist An alliance in friendship and shared history accompanies these men traveling on the back of this stylish turtle, their faces gleaming in the artistry of dhokra. Detailed in the perfection of a hand-crafted legacy, the figurine attests to the refined excellence of the dhokra artists - their hands guided by a desire to preserve their fine art. Embellish a favorite room with this unique sample of a millenary art form. Meaning "oldest," dhokra is a crafting tradition dating as far back as 2000 B.C.. Dhokra art is largely associated with the tribal groups of northern India, including Vindhyas and the Eastern Ghats, Bihar and its surroundings, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh and West Bengal. Myriad images are cast in the dhokra tradition as artisans preserve their millenary culture, custom and belief through the wondrous pieces they create.
