Product Description

Celebrate the timeless charm of rural India with this exquisite Golden Dhokra Bullock Cart figurine, depicting a tribal man riding a traditional village bullock cart. Handcrafted using the ancient dhokra casting method, this sculpture draws from a metallurgical tradition dating back to the Bronze Age / Indus–Saraswati Valley Civilization (5000–10000 BC).
Cast in rare Golden Dhokra, this artwork stands out for its warm brass-like hue and intricate detailing, making it one of the most sought-after forms of dhokra metal craft. The figurine portrays the enduring legacy of bullock cart transport—an iconic symbol of Indian village life—featuring a finely sculpted bullock and cart, also known as an ox cart, once used as the backbone of rural mobility and trade.
Each piece is handmade using scrap alloys, reinforcing its natural, eco-friendly, and sustainable essence. Created by skilled tribal artisans in a remote village of Odisha, this sculpture carries the soul of the land, shaped amidst forests, rivers, and age-old traditions.
Whether admired as a brass bullock cart collectible, a statement dhokra sculpture, or a meaningful décor accent, this artwork preserves the story of the old bull cart, the ox bullock cart, and the simplicity of village life through authentic dhokra art.
Perfect for lovers of heritage décor, collectors of indigenous crafts, and patrons of sustainable art.
