Tribal Stories

Tribal Stories carries the oldest living metal craft in India. The Dhokra method of lost-wax casting has run unbroken for more than four thousand years, practiced today by the same communities of Bastar and beyond who have always practiced it. Every piece is cast a single time and cannot be repeated, so no two are alike. Owls, elephants, deities and lamps, each with the fine thread-like texture that only wax casting leaves behind. You are not buying an object. You are keeping a story alive.
