Product Description

Honor the timeless image of motherhood, resilience, and daily life with this evocative Black Dhokra Woman Carrying Baby & Pot Figurine. The sculpture beautifully depicts a woman carrying a pot on head while holding her baby, symbolizing care, balance, and the strength of women in traditional tribal communities.
This artwork is meticulously handcrafted using the ancient dokra casting method, a revered Bronze Age metalworking tradition dating back to the Indus–Saraswati Valley Civilization (5000–10000 BC). The deep black tone of the figurine is achieved through the exceptionally rare Black Dhokra Casting Method, making it a distinctive example of authentic dokra art and dokra metal craft.
Made entirely from scrap alloys, the figurine is natural, eco-friendly, and sustainable, reflecting the harmonious relationship between tribal craftsmanship and nature. Each piece is handmade in a remote village of Odisha, cradled in beautiful natural surroundings where the legacy of dokra craft has been preserved for generations.
The detailed water pot—often associated with daily chores—resembles a traditional clay pot, reimagined here as a sculpted bronze pot with an antique bronze pot aesthetic. This powerful woman carrying pot sculpture adds cultural depth to living spaces, offices, galleries, and curated décor collections, making it ideal for collectors exploring dokra art online shopping and lovers of meaningful dokra metal art.
