Indian artisans knew the art of metalworking since 3000 B. C. The
beautiful figurine of the dancing girl belonging to the Indus valley
civilization indicates the high level of workmanship attained by ancient
craftsmen.
In India craftsmen use different metals like iron, copper, silver and
alloys like bronze, bell metal, white metal etc to make a variety of items
such as pots, pans, utensils, photo frames, sculptures of deities,
mythological figures and animals etc. Items like doorknobs, taps, key
chains, boxes etc are also made, using different metals.
Sculptures are generally made with the lost wax process. This process
begins with creation of a wax model of the sculpture or any item. This
model is then covered with clay and holes are made into the clay. Finally
molten metal is poured through the hole at the top, which causes the wax
to melt. The cavity created within is automatically replaced by the hot
metal. The metal is allowed to cool and the final product is freed from
clay and polished.
