Product Description
Product Description
Celebrate rhythm, tradition, and timeless artistry with this Golden Trumpet Player Dhokra Craft, a striking handcrafted bronze figurine created using the ancient Dhokra lost-wax casting method. This rare metalworking technique dates back to the Bronze Age and the Indus–Saraswati Valley Civilization (5000–10000 BC), making each piece a continuation of one of the world’s oldest living craft traditions.
Finished in a radiant golden hue through the Golden Dhokra casting method—the rarest form of Dhokra craftsmanship—this sculpture beautifully highlights the expressive form of a tribal trumpet player. The musician’s pose evokes movement and melody, drawing inspiration from traditional wind instruments such as the trumpet instrument, saxophone, tenor sax, and even the charm of a mini saxophone.
Crafted using recycled scrap alloys, this piece represents sustainable values and eco-friendly design while preserving the raw, earthy character of authentic Dhokra metal craft. The figurine doubles as a functional tribal bull head–inspired key holder, seamlessly blending utility with artistic storytelling.
Handmade in a remote village of Odisha, nestled in pristine natural surroundings, every sculpture carries subtle variations—proof of its handmade authenticity. Whether displayed as a statement décor piece, gifted to music lovers, or chosen by collectors looking to buy trumpet-inspired art, this Dhokra art sculpture adds warmth, culture, and soul to any space.
