These deer are shaped without a mold: iron is heated, beaten flat, and bent into form by hand. The golden finish is applied over the iron surface. The result reads as both ancient and spare.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Iron Smith community of Bastar, Chhattisgarh has worked in Lohshilp, their wrought iron craft, since before the tradition had a name. What began as metalwork for survival became, over centuries, an art form: figures drawn from the forest world around them, shaped by hand from raw iron without the use of casting or molds. These deer are that tradition in a form that holds light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo pieces, iron with a golden wash, each one holding a tea light cup. The deer form is lean and direct, no decorative excess, just the silhouette the artisan decided was enough. Lit, the golden iron throws a warm cast across the surface beneath them. Unlit, they hold their own as objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLohshilp Wrought Iron · Bastar, Chhattisgarh · Hand-Forged · Iron Smith Tradition\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":51903925125437,"sku":"HOT-TLH-002","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/2363\/3213\/files\/lifestyle_1_17e0c738-2e18-46ff-a109-f9210775188f.png?v=1782990629","url":"https:\/\/houseoftaraasha.com\/products\/golden-deer-bastar-lohshilp-wrought-iron-tea-lights","provider":"House of Taraasha","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
