Metal Crafts
Indian craftsmen had mastered the art of
metallurgy 5000 years back. The lost wax
process was known to the ancient craftsmen
in making pots and sculptures. Metal craft
is an integral part of the Indian ethos:
pots, utensils, vessels, tools, weapons
etc have been made out of a variety of material
like iron, copper, bronze, bell metal, white
metal, silver etc. The Ladakh region of
Kashmir is known for traditional vessels
made out of iron and brass. Moradabad is
world famous for its array of utilitarian
brassware.
Engraving using traditional motifs
is also done on items made in Moradabad.
