Q. Which of the following is an ancient metal-craft practised by tribes of Jharkhand?
A. Dhokra
B. Chhau
C. Natua
D. Ghatwari
Answer: Dhokra
Dokra, the ancient metal crafts which has caught the interest and attention of the worldwide artistic community, is practised by the Malhar and Tentri tribes of Jharkhand.
Primarily created from brass scrap, the objects have a core of clay concealed within the metal casting. Hand-crafted, intricately worked figurines, village tableaux, drummers, elephants with howdahs, oil lamps, peacocks – the range is as creative and varied as the imagination and skill of the craftsperson. No Dokra sculpture is an exact duplicate of another- each one is authentic and original.
