The Tribal Hunter
The Tribal Hunter is a handcrafted vintage sculpture made using the time-honoured Dhokra technique—an ancient metalcasting craft practiced by tribal artisans in regions like Chhattisgarh, Odisha, and West Bengal. Dating back over 4,000 years, this lost-wax casting method is one of the oldest known to humankind and is prized for its earthy texture and expressive forms.
This unique figurine captures the poised strength of a tribal hunter, rendered entirely by hand without the use of modern machinery. Each Dhokra piece is one-of-a-kind, shaped through a meticulous, multi-step process involving beeswax, clay, and molten metal.
A striking example of India’s tribal art heritage, this vintage sculpture is more than décor—it’s a piece of living tradition shaped by generations of craftsmanship.
