Elevate your space with this handcrafted brass bowl, a unique decorative piece that masterfully combines functional art with deep cultural symbolism. Inspired by the traditional Dhokra art form—a 4000-year-old lost-wax metal casting technique practiced by tribal artisans in India—this bowl exemplifies fine craftsmanship and storytelling through metal.
The bowl’s body is designed in a delicate criss-cross lattice pattern, allowing glimpses of light and shadow to pass through. This open meshwork not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also speaks to the artisan’s skill in balancing strength and intricacy in cast metal.
The rim of the bowl is detailed with a ring of hand-engraved spiral motifs, symbolizing cycles of life and continuity. At the forefront sits a majestic bull head, sculpted in high relief. The bull, often seen as a symbol of strength, fertility, and sacred energy in Indian culture, serves as both a guardian and a decorative element.
Finished in a rich antique gold patina, this bowl carries the rustic charm and aged elegance that’s characteristic of tribal brassware. The piece sits sturdily on three subtle supports, making it suitable for display on tabletops, shelves, or altars.
This brass bowl can be used as a:
-
Decorative centerpiece in living rooms or entryways
-
Storage holder for trinkets, potpourri, or dry offerings
-
Gift item for art lovers, collectors, or those who appreciate cultural handicrafts
Every piece is handmade, making each one slightly unique and a true representation of Indian tribal metal art heritage.
