Handicrafts: Dhokra Brass and Bell Metal

"The Shining Ware"

The bell - metal ware occupies a pride of place in Orissa's casting history. Not just bell - metal, the flexible brass fish of Ganjam, the cute brass figurine of Kantilo, the brass and bell - metal ware of Cuttack and Sambalpur and the metal castings (Dhokras) of the Sithulias are typical examples of Orissa's metal ware.

These products are cast in brass by lost - wax - process and display an intriguing wirework finish. The wax- work is done with great skill and meticulousness from wires of bees - wax. These pieces with their antique look go well with interior décor. The brass fish of Ganjam, with its elegantly decorative form and intricate pattern, represents a marvel of craftsmanship in sheet metal.

The bell metal and brass utensils of Orissa are remarkable for the beauty of their shape and exquisiteness. They blend a striking harmony of beauty and utility.
