The beautiful brass figure of Lord Buddha is cast in the traditional dhokra technique. A prominent deity in Hinduism, Buddha is also considered an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Dhokra is an ancient technique of crafting brass figures using the lost wax method. In this method, the figure is created through a laborious lost wax method practised by the tribal groups of north India. A model is sculpted out 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.
