At 7 inches across and 600 grams, it has the weight and stance of a piece meant to anchor a shelf, not just sit on one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1172\" data-end=\"1354\"\u003eThis peacock is made using \u003cem\u003ecire perdue\u003c\/em\u003e (lost-wax casting), a tradition practiced for over 4,500 years across Odisha and central India. Each piece begins as a clay core, slowly layered with wax and hand-carved before molten bell metal — an alloy of brass, zinc, and trace elements — is poured in to replace the wax as it dissolves. The mold is broken once, leaving a form that cannot be replicated. The surface carries softened edges and subtle irregularities from a 13-stage ritual process passed down across generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1172\" data-end=\"1354\"\u003e7 × 7 in (approx. 18 × 18 cm) · 600 g · Dhokra cast bell metal · Lost-wax casting · Handcrafted in Odisha, India\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WILLAGE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42090553442407,"sku":"WLG-SCULPT-DHOKRA-PEACOCK-001","price":280.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/7373\/1687\/files\/WILLAGE_Royal_Odisha_Peacock_Dhokra_Main..jpg?v=1775540401","url":"https:\/\/willage.life\/products\/the-royal-odisha-peacock-dhokra-metal-sculpture","provider":"WILLAGE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
