Product Description

Celebrate the timeless rhythm of rural India with this elegant Black Dhokra Tribal Woman with Winnowing Tray. This beautifully handcrafted bronze figurine portrays a woman winnowing grain using a traditional winnowing tray, also known as a winnowing fan, winnowing basket, or flat winnowing basket. The artwork captures the grace, strength, and grounded lifestyle of tribal women engaged in age-old agricultural practices.
Created using the ancient dokra casting technique, one of the world’s oldest metallurgical processes dating back to the Bronze Age / Indus–Saraswati Valley Civilization (5000–10000 BC), this sculpture carries an extraordinary legacy. Its striking deep-black finish is achieved through the rare Black Dhokra Casting Method, making this a collector’s piece in the world of dokra craft, dokra metal art, and handmade metal sculptures.
Crafted entirely from scrap alloys, this figurine is natural, eco-friendly, and sustainable, reflecting the ethos of responsible craftsmanship. Every curve, texture, and detail is meticulously shaped by artisans in a remote village of Odisha, cradled in pristine nature where the traditional dokra art heritage continues to thrive.
This sculpture is perfect for décor lovers, collectors seeking antique winnowing basket representations, admirers of agriculture winnowing fan themes, and anyone who appreciates authentic handcrafted metal art. Its rustic charm makes it ideal for living rooms, studios, cultural corners, offices, and curated art shelves.
