Description

Dhokra work. Same as Lee Horne notes #14 a+b except bottom is of the traditional solid decoration and the pieces belong together. Was attempting to capture pieces showing Sambhu's creative process, but it isn't working out very well. Made by Sambhu Karmakar. Small pinholes in bottom where brass has worn thin. Small pinholes also along one side.
