Review this Item

The beautiful tribal mask is given a refine and detail treatment by the tribal sculptor. Masks are quite common in a tribal society as the people mock the cult figure on special ceremonies. The beautiful figure contains some exquisite carvings on it. This lovely work is crafted with the ancient dhokra technique, a laborious lost wax process practiced in Central India. First, a model is sculpted of clay and dried in the sun; it is then covered with beeswax and more clay, forming a mold. The piece is cast, cleaned and again dried in the sun. Finally, it is heated in the ground for five days and polished and the final figure comes out with some exquisite carvings.
