Beaten Iron & Copper Craft

Taking inspiration from the traditional iron craft of Bastar, the iron craft here evolves into many new avatars! Its combination with other mediums such as wood, stone, as part of a painting on canvas, or even infusion with metals such as brass and copper, each piece of iron craft at Devrai reflects the coming together of imagination, inspiration and the skilled hand of an age old tradition.
