The in-sync movement of dancers on the beats of drum and other traditional instruments, men and women dressed in vibrant ethnic fashion, chanting and singing in local language- the celebration of festivals in the tribal society is an occasion full of life and vigor, one that has been crystalized in this antique brass Dhokra metal work, which depicts a group of young women, matching each other’s movement, creating a heart-warming image of tribal life and female companionship. The women are standing on a curved metal platform, with their hands placed on the back of each other, forming a typical semi-circular formation used in grouop folk dances. They are given round faces which are adorned with simple dots and a three-leafed headgear. Their costumes constitute of a skirt and a stringed necklace. The figure of one of these five women does not have ornament on her head, marking her distinction from the rest of her grouop. It may be that she is the soon-to-be-bride, who is dancing with the married, auspicious women of her tribe, whose humble closeness brings to you a unique Dhokra metal work.
