The outskirts of many an Indian village have a <a href="/wiki/Sacred_fig" class="mw-redirect" title="Sacred fig">pipal</a> tree with terracotta animal figures lying underneath it. They are symbols of fulfillment of aspirations of village folk. In order to cater to the commercial requirements of the modern global market, the village potter is often combining the traditional rural abstractions with refined urban tastes to show pieces of terracotta art.<sup id="cite_ref-terracotta_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-terracotta-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The principal centres where the terracotta horses and elephants are produced are <a href="/wiki/Panchmura" title="Panchmura">Panchmura</a>, Rajagram, <a href="/wiki/Sonamukhi" title="Sonamukhi">Sonamukhi</a> and Hamirpur. Each place has its local style. The Panchmura-style of pottery is considered the best and the finest of all the four types.<sup id="cite_ref-horse_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-horse-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Process">Process</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Bankura_horse&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Process"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Different parts of the hollow terracotta horses are turned out in separate parts, on the potter’s wheel. The four legs, the full neck in two parts and the face (seven pieces in all) are turned out separately on the wheel and then joined together. Additional clay is used for making up defects that may remain in the shape of the body. The leaf-like ears and the tails are done in moulds and are later inserted in grooves left on the body. The clay figures are then allowed to dry in the sun. After a little drying in the sun, holes are made on appropriate parts of the body in order that the inner and the outer surfaces of the body are equally dried. Cracks may develop in the body because of unequal drying of the inner and the outer portions. Drying is under done in the normal temperature of a closed room for about six or seven days. Then they are brought out of the room and heated in the sun. Finally they are fired.<sup id="cite_ref-horse_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-horse-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The terracotta horses of Bankura are produced in two different colours. This achieved by modifying the kiln atmosphere: terracotta red colour is obtained by letting out the smoke through the vents of the kiln during firing to generate an oxidising atmosphere, and the black colour is obtained by sealing the vents to generate a reducing atmosphere.<sup id="cite_ref-horse_3-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-horse-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Significance">Significance</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Bankura_horse&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Significance"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In the <a href="/wiki/Rarh_region" title="Rarh region">Rarh region</a> where <a href="/wiki/Dharmathakur" title="Dharmathakur">Dharmathakur</a> is worshipped there is no end to the symbolic use of terracotta and wooden horses.
