a 4000 year old craft
Dancing Girl, one of the most famous dokra sculptures, was excavated from the ancient Indus Valley civilization. This prehistoric artefact is currently on display at the National Museum in New Delhi, India.
Archaeologist Gregory Possehl described Dancing Girl as "the most captivating piece of art from an Indus site" and states "We may not be certain that she was a dancer, but she was good at what she did and she knew it."
