Handcrafted Dokra Hand‑Pulled Rickshaw Figurine – Timeless Indian Heritage Décor

Introduction

Imagine a miniature rickshaw, lovingly sculpted in antique brass, capturing the bustling streets of historic Indian cities. Art Angan’s Dokra Hand‑Pulled Rickshaw figurine does exactly that—bringing a slice of urban heritage into your living room, office, or boutique display.

Product Overview

This decorative heritage piece is crafted using the centuries‑old lost‑wax metal‑casting (Dhokra) technique. Artisans hand‑model the wax, embed intricate wirework, and cast the figure in a brass‑based alloy that is later polished to an antique gold finish. Measuring 8 × 4 × 5.5 cm and weighing 400 g, the figurine features a rickshaw puller, two passengers, detailed wheels, and a gracefully arched canopy—all rendered with the characteristic Dokra texture that celebrates Indian craftsmanship.
