The metalwork of Bangladesh is a major field of folk art, craft and economy that represents the richness of material folk culture of its people. It falls into three broad categories from the standpoint of use: (1) utilitarian metalwork; (2) decorative metalwork; and (3) functional-cum-decorative metalwork. Prior to 1947 utilitarian metalwork in bell-metal and brass was a flourishing rural industry that was hardly affected by competition, though the use of enamelled articles was on the increase. In Dhaka the artistic excellence of metalwork was seen in gold, silver and iron. After 1947 the dwindling process of utilitarian metalwork began. On the other hand, the artistic excellence of metalwork in gold, silver and iron began to shift to copper and brass in Dhaka and Chittagong with the arrival of skilled Muslim metalworkers from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar in India and the departure of skilled Hindu metalworkers from Dhaka to West Bengal, though this shift was slow until 1971. Following the emergence of Bangladesh, the rural centers involved in utilitarian metalwork in bell-metal and brass began declining at a faster pace as machine-made products in aluminum, stainless steel, porcelain, plastic and glass were available in greater abundance and at lower prices, while decorative and functional-cum-decorative metalwork started booming in Dhaka City within the traditional context. Today there is a major shift in the evolution of metalwork in Bangladesh.

520 $a The metalwork of Bangladesh is a major field of folk art, craft and economy that represents the richness of material folk culture of its people. It falls into three broad categories from the standpoint of use: (1) utilitarian metalwork; (2) decorative metalwork; and (3) functional-cum-decorative metalwork. Prior to 1947 utilitarian metalwork in bell-metal and brass was a flourishing rural industry that was hardly affected by competition, though the use of enamelled articles was on the increase. In Dhaka the artistic excellence of metalwork was seen in gold, silver and iron. After 1947 the dwindling process of utilitarian metalwork began. On the other hand, the artistic excellence of metalwork in gold, silver and iron began to shift to copper and brass in Dhaka and Chittagong with the arrival of skilled Muslim metalworkers from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar in India and the departure of skilled Hindu metalworkers from Dhaka to West Bengal, though this shift was slow until 1971. Following the emergence of Bangladesh, the rural centers involved in utilitarian metalwork in bell-metal and brass began declining at a faster pace as machine-made products in aluminum, stainless steel, porcelain, plastic and glass were available in greater abundance and at lower prices, while decorative and functional-cum-decorative metalwork started booming in Dhaka City within the traditional context. Today there is a major shift in the evolution of metalwork in Bangladesh.
520 $a This study deals with all aspects of the metalwork of Bangladesh in their social and cultural contexts in the present time, but not in isolation from the tradition that goes back to remote antiquity. By constructing the life histories of six master metalworkers and by a detailed evaluation of the historical and socioeconomic factors within the context of material folk culture this study also brings to light how the major shift is the end product of a process triggered by political convulsions in two phases: (1) the partition of British India in 1947 and (2) the Bengali nationalist movement culminating in the emergence of Bangladesh as a nation-state in 1971.
