Tribal Life Brass Gift

In our metal-casting process we use the lost-wax technique. It is our tradition coupled with the intrinsic starkness and vitality of the art form that makes our art frames a coveted collectors item in India and abroad for connoisseurs, scholars and laypersons alike. The lost-wax technique, called cire perdue in French, is a metallurgical art form that is one of the oldest technique. Apart from India it was used in ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, China and Greece. The technique flourished in the hands of the Aztecs in Mexico during 14th-16th centuries AD and in the Benin kingdom in south-central Nigeria during 14th-19th centuries AD. It has been a favorite of many modern-day sculptors.
