Dhokra camel with intricate line etching

A bell metal camel figurine rendered the Dhokra art way, with the intricately etched line pattern typical of this style, where the design etched on wax is super-imposed onto metal via the hollow lost-wax technique using a clay core that can be used only once.

This method of moulding with wax and clay makes each Dhokra artifact a unique piece of art. It also renders these artifacts as seamless, one piece objects, adding manifold to the charm of Dhokra artifacts.
