A funky looking dokra bowl or a figurine is great as a showpiece. They are made with the ancient lost wax method, the same technique used for the Mohenjodaro dancing girl. In Bengal, it is the Dhokra Damar tribe (practicing metal-casters since ancient times0 who make these. The craft mainly involves creating sculptures of owls, horses, elephants, peacocks, religious images, measuring bowls and lamp caskets etc.
