This replica was made by Dhokra artisans using the identical lost-wax technique: a wax figure built by hand, encased in clay, molten brass poured in, the clay broken away to reveal what the heat made. The same method. The same figure.

That continuity is not metaphor; it is material fact. This replica was made by those same artisans using the same lost-wax process: each figure begins as a hand-modeled wax form, gets encased in clay, and is fired until the wax runs out and molten brass takes its place.
