The Dhokra horse which was originally crafted in Terracotta originated in the city of Bankura in the Western Bengal province of India. Dhokra horse sculptures originate from an ancient Indian metal casting tradition known as Dhokra Damar, which dates back over 4,000 years to the Harappan and Mohenjo-Daro civilizations. This art form, which uses the lost-wax casting technique (cire perdue), is rooted in the tribal traditions of Eastern and Central India, particularly in modern-day West Bengal, Odisha, Jharkhand, and Chhattisgarh.

These attractive figurines would make interesting little items of home décor.
