Dokra

Tribal in origin, the Dokra metal craft is common to the tribal belts of Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Bengal and Andhra Pradesh.

In Andhra Pradesh this craft is found in Chittalbori and Ushegaon in Adilabad District.

What makes Dokra unique is that no two pieces are alike. Deftly created by hand, the objects have an individualistic touch.

Primarily made from brass scrap, the objects also have a core of clay preserved within the metal casting, unlike other metal work.
