Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Dokra technique?
Dokra is a traditional Indian metal‑casting method using the lost‑wax process, where artisans sculpt a wax model, encase it in clay, melt the wax away, and pour molten metal into the cavity.
Is the showpiece safe for outdoor use?
While the brass is durable, exposure to rain or high humidity can accelerate patina formation. For outdoor display, place it under a covered area and wipe gently after exposure.
