In this spectacular dhokra sculpture, the Lord Krishna is sculpted out with the precision of a surgeon and with impeccable designs. A sublime finesse of tribal touch makes the figure more attractive. The Lord is holding his veena. A paradigm of the ancient dhokra technique, the figure is crafted through a laborious lost wax process. Such a process is closely associated with the lives of the tribal groups of northern India. For designing a figure a model is sculpted of clay and dried in the sun. The dried figure 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.
