Bidri ware is a type of metalware that was traditionally made in the town of Bidar, located in the state of Karnatakain, India from the 14th century, but is now made throughout Northern India. It is made by combining a alloy of zinc and copper with a core of blackened alloy. The metal is then worked into intricate designs using a variety of techniques, including engraving, inlay, and repoussé. The designs often feature a combination of geometric patterns and figurative elements, and the metal is often inlaid with small pieces of silver or gold. Bidri ware is considered to be a form of folk art, and it is known for its rich black colour and intricate designs.
