Vintage Dhokra Cast Bronze Giraffe

Cast in bronze using the lost-wax method, this sculptural giraffe is covered in tightly coiled circular motifs that trace its mane and body.
 
The stylised form and hand-built texture point to Dhokra metalwork from eastern India — a long-standing craft tradition known for its intricate wax filigree and cast animal figures.
 
Found for its character and rhythm of detail rather than precision, it’s a piece that draws attention through pattern and form, the bronze catching light across each coiled mark.
