Dhokra is a brass sculpture made in Odisha. To begin, the figure is made with clay, dried and covered with a layer of wax. Then, fine details are carved on the wax. After that, the figure is covered with clay, and put it in the fire. The wax melts and comes out of small openings. Next, brass scrap is melted and poured into the empty space. The liquid metal takes the same shape as the wax. Finally, the outer layer of clay is removed and the metal figure is finished.
