Koftgari/Damascening : Rajasthan is home to flamboyant crafts and is equally known as the land of dazzling valour. Similarly, the craft of Koftgari / Koftgiri, practised by the 5th generation of the Sikligar community, is known for being both aesthetic and resilient. The technique involves carefully cutting grooves or channels into the metal surface and then inserting and hammering in the gold or silver wire, creating a decorative pattern. The community has kept the legacy of crafting everlasting weapons & armours for the warrior clan. The handles and casings of these weapons showcase an exquisite inlaid or beaten ornamentation, which also communicates the quality of the armour. This is popularly known as Damascening.
