Wrought Iron Tribal Dance Line — Madiya Dancers
A wrought iron sculpture of the Madiya dance — a row of tribal figures linked arm to arm, hand-forged as one connected piece.
£49.00
Only 8 cm tall, but each figure has a flat-top headpiece, etched chevron patterns on the torso, jewellery detailing, and legs mid-stride. One figure at the end holds a long staff. The level of detail at this scale is what makes these stand out.
Depicts the Madiya dance — a group dance tradition from the Maria tribes of Bastar, performed during festivals and gatherings. The dance is one of the most recognised cultural forms from the region, and one of the most commonly depicted scenes in tribal metalwork from Chhattisgarh.
Hand-forged from wrought iron — each figure shaped, detailed, and joined individually. Mounted on a flat iron base.
