How Bone Carvers In India Are Keeping A Prehistoric Art Alive | Still Standing | Business Insider

Bone carving is an ancient art form popularized by royals in India around the 16th century. More recently, a shrinking market and scarcity of materials have pushed many carvers away from the craft. Jalaluddin Akhtar and his son Akheel are determined to keep the craft alive in Lucknow.

    Buying bones is not actually that uncommon for butchers, sure not 1000 pounds but bones are required in stocks and for bone marrow and also some people use it for their dogs chew toy, usually selling the carcass of an animal is actually fairly common

    Yeah their problem seems to be exposure. They live in an area where electricity isn't affordable which tells me they live in a very poor area, which is a problem when you're trying to sell art. This means they have to reach out online and market themselves, but as far as I can tell they only have an Instagram page which isn't going to grant them much exposure. Some people here are saying they have their own website but even that isn't going to do them much good if people aren't searching for it, and very few people are going to go online and search for "bone carving". I would be willing to bet that if they had someone who knew what they were doing that could properly market their business to other countries and wealthier areas of India, they could make a lot of money.

Also, I think government definitely has taken some steps ex Madhubani paintings, silk textile industry, indian toy expo, etc.. but in the end, it's the people who should care. And people vote for free alcohol and biryani.

Second, the government is spreading these arts by allowing them free stalls in fairs and letting them sell their products in the official goverment website shutout any charges. People care for this which is why it is still afloat. You should realise that people (especially Hindus ,who believe the cows and buffaloes as sacred creatures) do not cherish the idea of keeping dead animal bones as lampsheds.

I was traveling in a group and asked if we could buy it, and since a lot of us wanted something like this, we asked him if he could take 2 days off his work to make us some as we would be leaving the city within 3. so he agreed and he made us a few within that time out of the heat and payed him $30 a piece for his carvings. he ended up making a months wage within those 2 days.

    The artisan's suffering started during British era. They didn't want artistic exports reducing their market share. It was cheaper to manufacture cheap white clothes than artisanal embroidery. India's new government is helping a lot of artists. They have make in India initiative and micro business loans. These artists kinda falls in different category though. Their material is bone which requires killing an animal. Since India believes in preservation of life, they won't find bones. If these guys switched the material to wood or marble, they will still make a lot of money. Their skill is carving, transferable to different material

I think there should be plenty of bones for this single family of bone carvers, so I don't think it is a question of diminishing supplies but of diminished demand. The general Indian buyer would find bones repulsing and these articles expensive. So switching to marble and wood is a good idea -- wood sells for cheap and should allow them to preserve bone carving.

    I think the issue with switching to wood is that it wouldn’t be bone carving anymore. And there’s no wood that gives that bright white colour. Which in my opinion makes it look a lot better. I think trying to switch to e-commerce would be the best decision.

    He’s going to make it. He’s an entrepreneur for sure. ❤️ Teaching classes, making moves to go online. Love it. The times of passing down a craft through generations is sadly coming to an end. 😞 There were great artists for just about everything at one point or another. At least with technology and manufacturing advances taking away most of the arts markets with cheaper alternatives, there are some new ways for artists to create incredible pieces. I think he has the right idea though, about going online. That’s basically the only way to reach the smaller market for such rare art. I hope a link gets posted here soon with his website, or at least an etsy shop 😂. Truly hoping for the best for this family, and their business. And I hope the other families who couldn’t stay with it are doing ok…

    A website would be nice, but what they really need is marketing and exposure. This video definitely helped a lot so that's a great start, but if you could find a way to shine a light on their craft and get the word out to people then that would be infinitely more valuable than a website. Unfortunately a website wouldn't accomplish that because they would need people to actively be searching for key words that take people to their website instead of being buried under thousands of search results. They do have an Instagram and Facebook page, so that's good.
