Standing bronze cross for outdoor, 75 cm, lost wax casting. High-quality cross made in Italy by a Italian foundry specialised in funerary bronze items.
The technique used for this cross is lost-wax casting, a technique requiring a wax model with a refractory core covered with a ceramic mould and cooked inside a furnace. The leaking molten wax thus creates a gap that to be filled by the cast metal which, once solidified, will be worked and chiseled.
The upside of this process is the uniqueness and very high quality of the finished product, the highest obtainable by any casting process.
The statue can be placed both in interior and exterior settings, since it is coloured with weather-proof paints. Bronze, being a natural material, tends to darken as years go by (if exposed outdoors): this feature is what makes it beautiful, since the passing of time makes this product precious and unique.
The cross can be displayed both indoors and outdoors, coloured with paints that enable it to withstand weather events.
