This Dhokra Bell Metal Figure Hindu Deity Lord Shiva was made using the lost wax process, an ancient craft which was once widespread throughout India, now restricted to a small group of artisans in Bikna Village close to Dariapur in West Bengal.

This figure of Lord Shiva was made using the same process as the other figure in our collection of Vishnu with four arms. (to be listed)

One of the earliest known examples of cire perdue (lost wax casting) work in India is that of the well-known ‘ dancing girl’ which was found in Mohenjo-Dar in the Indus Valley.
