[amp_mcq option1=”Cheriyal paintings” option2=”Nirmal paintings” option3=”Dokra metalcraft” option4=”Kalamkari” correct=”option3″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is C. Dokra metalcraft.<\/p>\n
Dokra is a lost-wax casting technique used to create metal sculptures and other objects. It is a traditional craft practiced by the tribal people of India, particularly in the states of Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, and Andhra Pradesh. The technique involves creating a wax model of the desired object, which is then covered in a clay mold. The mold is heated until the wax melts and flows out, leaving a hollow cavity in the clay. Molten metal is then poured into the cavity and allowed to cool and harden. Once the metal has cooled, the clay mold is broken away to reveal the finished object.<\/p>\n
Dokra is a highly skilled and labor-intensive process. The wax models are often very intricate, and the metal must be poured very carefully to avoid air bubbles. However, the finished objects are often very beautiful and are prized for their craftsmanship.<\/p>\n
The other options are incorrect because they are not associated with the lost-wax technique.<\/p>\n
