Dokra refers to a metal couper craft which is tribal in origin. It is mainly found in the tribal areas of Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh. In this metal craft the craftsman firstly subcultures a wax model of the object he wants to make. Then he makes a mould of clay and pours molten metal into a hole in the mould, then the wax melts and the clay is broken away to bring out the metal object which is then smoothed an polished to perfection. A Dokra Mask of 15x15cm portraying the image of Sun.
