Mukhoruchi | Dokra Tribal Mask Necklace

Drawing from the primal spiritual traditions and guardian totems of rural Bengal, the Mukhoruchi Necklace brings folkloric storytelling into high-impact wearable art. The centerpiece is a sculpted tribal mask defined by prominent almond-shaped eyes, a beaded crown ridge, and an arched perforated collar (jaali) reminiscent of ceremonial neck plates. Dokra artisans sculpt the facial anatomy and delicate openwork by hand using flexible beeswax threads over an earthen clay base before casting in traditional wood-fired kilns. Once molten brass replaces the wax, the pendant reveals deep shadow lines, an antique satin-gold patina, and the subtle textural variations inherent to true cire-perdue craft. Strung on a durable, hand-twisted black and crimson cotton thread cord accented with artisanal textile beads, it adjusts effortlessly in length. A commanding heirloom centerpiece to pair with Dhakai Jamdani saris, raw silk kurtas, or clean high-neck modern silhouettes.
