The Dhokra Bankura horse represent the sun god and are very auspicious to gift. This piece of art is handcrafted. The brass will tarnish with time giving it a beautiful antique look.

The ancient art form of Dhokra is believed to have its roots extending  over 4000 years ago, with its origins dating back to the Harrapan Civilization. For millennia, the skilled artisans of the Dhokra Damar tribes, scattered across central India, have honed their craft using the intricate wax metal casting technique. Employing a special alloy comprised of Brass, Nickel, and Zinc, known as Dhokra metal, they create exquisite pieces of art characterized by their timeless antique appearance. 

Embrace the beauty of the craftsmanship of the Dhokra Bankura Horse and bring joy to your living space. 

Care: Over time, brass develops a charming antique appearance due to tarnishing. To preserve its shine, it is essential to clean each Dhokra artifact regularly with a soft, dry cloth and store them away from moisture and abrasive substances
