Dokra Tribal Boat with Rowers and Peacock Figurehead
Dokra Tribal Boat with Rowers and Peacock Figurehead Along the length of the boat are several human figures crafted in the same metal, each posed uniquely as if engaged in activities related to rowing or performing rituals. The figures are distinct in their representation, with expressive body language and traditional adornments. These tiny characters contribute to the storytelling aspect of Dokra art, which often embodies scenes from daily life, folklore, or ceremonial practices
The surface of the boat is engraved with traditional patterns, adding to the complexity and visual richness of the piece. The texture and motifs are characteristic of Dokra craftsmanship, which involves a meticulous process called the lost-wax casting method. This technique results in unique, one-of-a-kind pieces, as each mold is broken after casting. The golden-bronze color of the sculpture reflects the use of brass and other metal alloys, giving it a timeless and antique appearance. Overall, this piece is a fine example of the artistry and cultural heritage embedded in Dokra craft.
