Introduction
Imagine a piece of art that not only adorns your home but also tells a story of centuries‑old tribal traditions. The Dokra Baul brass idol from Art Angan does exactly that—bringing the mystique of Indian folk heritage to your living room, puja altar, or office desk.
Product Overview
Crafted using the ancient lost‑wax (cire‑perdue) technique, each Dokra Baul idol is cast in antique brass, giving it a rich, weathered patina that ages gracefully. Standing at 6 cm tall, this miniature sculpture captures the soulful expression of a Baul minstrel, a wandering poet‑musician revered in Bengal’s cultural tapestry. While the primary material is brass, the product is listed under “Handloom Weave” to emphasize the hand‑crafted, artisanal nature of the entire creation process.
