Lost-wax
casting is 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.
