His calm yet powerful presence makes this sculpture especially suited to a home temple, meditation space, console, or curated Indian art collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sculpture is made using the traditional \u003cstrong\u003eDhokra lost-wax process\u003c\/strong\u003e. Artisans first create the form and decorative details in wax before building a clay mold around it. Molten brass is then poured into the mold, replacing the wax. The clay mold is broken open after casting, and the sculpture is individually cleaned and finished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis centuries-old process means that every piece carries subtle irregularities, textures, and markings that cannot be recreated by industrial casting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthentic.
