Coshal Wrought Iron Tribal Figures :- Tribal people wear different headgears for different occasions, which are typically made of organic materials such as old bones, wood, feathers, shells, and cloth. In addition, older tribal members have tattoos on their faces, hands, and bodies. The tattoo was created by hand with organic dyes and needles. Tattoos, too, had meanings and were more than just a fashion statement. These tattoos were meant to represent their tribe, art, culture, and family history. The current generation, on the other hand, does not have any tattoos. As a result, tattoos are now used as a painting technique known as 'God's,' which translates to the English word'scribble.'

The art depicts  masks and Godna.

Crafting Technique

Wrought iron handicraft, also known as "Pitwa Art," is a centuries-old art form created by a small tribal community in Bastar, Chhattisgarh. They mostly use scrap or discarded iron pieces, cut them by hand with a chisel and hammer, and heat them with charcoal. Almost all of the human and animal figures are made from a single piece of sheet metal hammered by hand. Rivets are used to make a joint. No Welding machine, cutting machine, or mould is used to create an artefact, making it a true handicraft.
