This tradition is called Lohshilp. The forms are drawn from everyday tribal life: animals, trees, figures in motion. Iron is forged, beaten, and shaped by hand without the use of a mold.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBastar's wrought iron tradition, Lohshilp, is one of the least-known and most immediate craft forms in India. The Iron Smith community of Chhattisgarh's tribal belt works iron by hand: heating, hammering, bending it into forms drawn from the natural world around them. No casting, no mold, each piece is shaped through direct contact between tool and metal. This wall lamp carries that process into a form that holds a candle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHang it in a corner, a hallway, a niche. The forged iron reads as sculptural even unlit, the lines are clean and undecorated in the way tribal objects always are. Light a tea light inside it and the iron shadow spreads across the wall in a pattern that shifts with the flame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLohshilp Wrought Iron · Bastar, Chhattisgarh · Iron Smith Tradition · Hand-Forged\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural Materials\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCollection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStill Light\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWipe with a dry, soft cloth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not immerse in water or use liquid cleaners.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemove wax residue with a soft cloth while still warm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolish metal surfaces occasionally with a soft brass cloth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"House of Taraasha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51903924994365,"sku":"HOT-TLH-001","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/2363\/3213\/files\/lifestyle_1_45f4d867-c64b-4c01-a79b-944797853a38.png?v=1782990623","url":"https:\/\/houseoftaraasha.com\/products\/bastar-wall-lamp-lohshilp-wrought-iron-tea-light","provider":"House of Taraasha","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
