In these beautiful statues, four tribal musicians are playing four types of instruments. A sense of simplicity and sublime finesse is manifest. An excellent paradigm of the ancient dhokra technique, the figure is sculpted using the popular lost wax method. The process is associated with the tribal groups of northern India. 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.
