Product Description

This evocative Black Dhokra Woman with Jackfruit Figurine portrays a tribal woman gently carrying her child while holding a jackfruit—an enduring symbol of nourishment, fertility, and abundance in indigenous culture. Cast in bronze using the ancient dhokra casting method, this artwork reflects a metallurgical tradition that dates back to the Indus-Saraswati Valley Civilization (5000–10000 BC).
Finished in a deep, earthy black tone, the figurine is created through the Black dhokra casting technique, the rarest and most valued form of dhokra metal craft. Each piece is handmade using recycled scrap alloys, making it a natural, eco-friendly, and sustainable expression of traditional artistry.
Crafted in a remote village of Odisha, surrounded by unspoiled natural landscapes, this sculpture celebrates the timeless bond of woman with child, rural life, and community values. As an authentic example of dhokra art and dhokra craft, this woman with jackfruit figuine is ideal for collectors of folk art, meaningful home décor, or as a thoughtful gift symbolising motherhood and prosperity.
Every figurine carries subtle variations, honouring the hands that shaped it and the centuries-old tradition that lives on through dhokra.
