In a world racing towards digital perfection, there remains a quiet, golden echo of timeless beauty — Dhokra art. And among its most breathtaking expressions is the handcrafted brass sculpture titled “Palki” by Claydork, now available exclusively at Monfleche.
The word Palki evokes imagery of bygone royal processions, bridal journeys, and divine pilgrimages. This exquisite Dhokra piece captures that legacy — two finely detailed figures carrying an ornate palanquin, their poised stance immortalizing the rhythm of a slow, ceremonial walk.
Handcrafted using the lost-wax casting technique, this piece showcases the mastery of tribal artisans whose skill has been passed down through generations. The intricate latticework on the palanquin, the texture of the carriers’ attire, and the overall symmetry — all echo the beauty of ancient metallurgy and indigenous storytelling.Crafted using the revered lost-wax casting method, Palki is a tribute to the millennia-old Dhokra art tradition. Each element is sculpted in beeswax, cast in clay, and transformed into brass — a laborious process carried out entirely by tribal artisans of eastern India.
This is not factory-made brass. It’s heritage frozen in metal.
Each curve is cast with purpose, each gap tells a tale.
