Question

properties of geomatric shapes of dhokra art​

Answer 1

The liquid metal poured in hardens between the core and the inner surface of the mold. The metal fills the mold and takes the same shape as the wax. The outer layer of clay is then chipped off and the metal icon is polished and finished as desired.

Dhokra art is essentially stunning metal figurines fashioned from bronze and copper based alloys using a 'lost wax casting' known as 'cire perdue' in French. There are several processes involved in the making of Dhokra art and hence, a single piece could take up to a month or two to be created.
