The textured surface is the technique signature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e## Description\nDhokra is a 4000-year-old non-ferrous metal-casting technique still practiced across tribal regions in India. The Bastar variant — from Chhattisgarh, in central India — has its own visual vocabulary distinct from Odisha or West Bengal dhokra: textured surfaces, elongated forms, tribal-totem subjects. The texture is not decoration; it is the cast surface left after the wax model is encased in clay-and-cow-dung slurry, threaded with channels, fired, and broken open.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWild Echo is a small standing figure — animal forms vary per piece, often deer, ox, or bird. Brass, hand-cast, hand-finished, sized for a desk. Twenty dollars. Each piece is its own original because lost-wax casting destroys the wax in the firing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndia Craft House is set up to ship directly from artisan workshops, so the price reflects what the maker receives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery purchase funds one sauna session for one cancer patient. Four thousand years of metallurgy and one tribal maker's hands, on a desk where someone needs a moment. The funded session is one warmth in a body, parallel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e## Tags\nindia, dhokra, bastar, brass, tribal, glowhood\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Second-pass refinement following Ogilvy's first-pass template.*\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bastar metalsmiths Chhattisgarh; via India Craft House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47328792608917,"sku":"glowhood-0056","price":46.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/3038\/0949\/files\/TICH-logo_2000x_1.png?v=1777950243","url":"https:\/\/www.glowhood.xyz\/products\/india-craft-house-bastar-dhokra-wild-echo-curio","provider":"Artisan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
