Product Description

Celebrate companionship and the quiet charm of rural life with this evocative Black Dhokra Man and Woman Sitting on Cot Figurine. This beautifully handcrafted couple figurine depicts a man and woman seated together on a traditional cot, symbolizing togetherness, simplicity, and timeless human connection.
Crafted using the ancient dokra casting method, a Bronze Age metalworking tradition rooted in the Indus–Saraswati Valley Civilization (5000–10000 BC), this sculpture carries a legacy that spans thousands of years. The deep black finish is achieved through the extremely rare Black Dhokra Casting Method, making this piece a prized example of authentic dokra art and dokra metal art.
Made entirely from scrap alloys, the figurine is natural, eco-friendly, and sustainable, reflecting the responsible values of tribal craftsmanship. Each piece is lovingly handmade in a remote village of Odisha, cradled in beautiful natural surroundings where traditional skills are preserved across generations.
The detailed cot bed—also known as a sleeping cot, single cot bed, or black cot—adds rustic authenticity and cultural depth. This artwork serves as a meaningful decorative accent for living rooms, bedrooms, offices, or curated art spaces, and appeals to collectors seeking décor inspired by traditional bed and cot designs and the best cot aesthetics of heritage furniture.
Perfect for gifting or personal collections, this sculpture blends storytelling, sustainability, and heritage into one timeless creation.
