| About
Metal Craft: |
The
art of bronze casting has been practised in India for more than five million
years. Copper and bronze were perhaps the earliest non-ferrous metals
which man shaped into tools. Metal is part of the Indian mystique as each
metal has its own alchemic and healing powers. Border areas of Rajasthan
touching Uttar Pradesh, have almost become synonymous with metalwork.
It is specially noted for its coloured enamelling and intricate engravings
in niello. The 'paildar' or the pie-crust designs, laboriously made, is
a speciality of the place. 'Koftgari', technically known as damascening,
offers a wide range of products, both for utility and ornamental purpose.

With change
of time people have started using Alloy metal to retain the strength
and shine of the metal.This Alloy metal is then casted by hand to produce
statues and art work.
