{"product_id":"heritage-musician-brass-idol","title":"Dhokra Brass Seated Tribal Drummer Figures","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThese Audiences for Autumn Festival are an extraordinary example of Indian Traditional Non-Ferrous Metal Casting that has deep roots to the lost-wax method and art form of the Dhokra tribal communities. The figurative sculptures are produced from brass or bronze and have a distinctly rustic appearance and very deep (natural) patina and age appearance, giving them a truly authentic antique quality. The expressionistic elongated shapes, with complex coiled ornamentation, make the pieces distinctive ethnic works.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe men depicted are seated and leaning back and typical of musicians while playing. Each person holds and plays a long tapering percussion instrument (either a dholak or similar folk drum), thus creating visual rhythm throughout the body of work. Their body forms are highly stylized; all have thin limbs, simple faces, and there is extensive detailing of coiled wire forming necklaces, ornaments, and headdresses. The strong contrast of the dark-textured body with the polished highlight areas (particularly on the percussion instruments and the facial features) adds to the drama of the work. Together the pair represents harmony, celebration, and the constant rhythmic cycles of life. They would make for an intriguing and significant cultural addition to any global art collection.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Casa Mandala ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46195434651823,"sku":"VSP-163","price":3100.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/8851\/9855\/files\/47_Compressed_30f4a845-df88-48b7-b08c-d6c53229eef7.jpg?v=1762321927","url":"https:\/\/www.thecasamandala.com\/products\/heritage-musician-brass-idol","provider":"Casa Mandala ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
