Vintage Indian Hand-made Bronze Tribal Mother & Child Statue with Basket on Head, Dhokra Bastar Figurine, Ethnic Home Decor Add a touch of timeless tradition and rich cultural heritage to your home with this beautifully handcrafted Dhokra bronze figurine. This unique piece depicts a tribal woman carrying a child on her hip and a pot on her head, a common and symbolic motif in Indian folk art. This tribal bronze displays a naturally aged brown-black patina with green copper bloom from deep natural oxidation and wax wire detailing so typical of the genre.

This labor-intensive process ensures that each statue is one-of-a-kind, showcasing a raw, rustic charm and intricate detailing that adds authenticity to any decor style—be it bohemian, ethnic, or eclectic. The natural patina of the bronze alloy adds to its vintage appeal. Height: 13.5cms
