Brass parrot figurine

This Dhokra brass parrot statue is a unique handcrafted decorative piece, entirely shaped by hand in India, in the Odisha region. Made using the ancestral technique of lost-wax casting (Dhokra), it embodies traditional craftsmanship passed down for over 4,000 years.

Each sculpture is the result of meticulous manual work, where every step is carried out without reusable industrial molds. This guarantees unique pieces, with slight irregularities that are part of the charm of authentic craftsmanship.

An Ancestral Indian Craft

The Dhokra technique involves modeling the piece in wax, then covering it with clay before firing. The wax melts and gives way to molten metal, creating a final sculpture that is impossible to reproduce identically.

This parrot statue is made in a craft village in Odisha, India, perpetuating a rare and precious cultural heritage.

A Symbolic Handcrafted Decoration

The parrot is a symbol of color, life, and communication in many Indian cultures. This brass sculpture adds an original and warm decorative touch to any interior.

It fits perfectly into a bohemian chic, ethnic, handcrafted, and travel-inspired decor.

Sustainable and Ethical Production

This piece is made from natural materials, including the wax and clay used in the traditional process. The artisanal approach limits environmental impact and contrasts with standardized industrial production.

We work directly with artisans to ensure fair and equitable remuneration, the preservation of traditional know-how, human-scale production, and the valorization of the artisan and their work.
