The Opener & The Ghungroos

This ornamental bottle opener is hand cast in brass using Bastar's centuries-old Dokhra tradition, this piece draws from a metalworking tradition practiced across central and eastern India for over 4,000 years.

The dancing tribal man, coiled spiral motifs, the elephant and hand-finished texture make this less of a bar tool and more of a small piece of living craft, shaped by a process that has remained largely unchanged.
