Description

Pair of Dhokra Brass Horses with Warriors

A striking pair of traditional Dhokra brass horse sculptures with mounted warriors, inspired by the rich tribal art heritage of Bastar, India. Each horse is beautifully detailed with characteristic hand-crafted textures, ornamental motifs, decorative harnesses, and an expressive warrior figure mounted on its back.

The sculptures feature the distinctive lost-wax casting technique associated with Dhokra metalwork, giving the brass a wonderfully textured, handcrafted appearance. The circular ornamental halo behind each warrior adds height and visual character to the sculptures.

Displayed together as a pair, these horse-and-warrior figures create a powerful statement and make an excellent addition to a collection of Indian folk art, tribal décor, or traditional brass sculptures.

About the Artwork

Bastar Dhokra is renowned for its distinctive metal-casting tradition, where artisans create detailed forms using the traditional lost-wax process. The irregular textures and handcrafted detailing are an important part of the character of Dhokra artwork.

This pair of brass horses with warriors beautifully captures the traditional aesthetic through its elaborate surface patterns, finely worked figures, decorative halos, and strong sculptural presence.

Display

Perfect for displaying together on a console, shelf, mantel, sideboard, entrance table, or dedicated art display. The matching pair works particularly well as a statement arrangement in spaces inspired by Indian, tribal, ethnic, rustic, or heritage décor.
