Additional Information About The ‘Lost Wax’ Technique of Bronze Statuette Casting
Exploited by most societies around the world, bronze statuettes have been produced by this means ever since the 3rd millennium BCE.
The technique makes use of a wax model of the piece to be cast, which is coated in plaster or clay to create a mold. The wax is warmed up and drained off once the mold is dry. If a hollow bronze statuette is called for then the wax model is built around a heat proof core. Molten bronze is put into the mold and left to dry. Once the metal has cooled completely, the mold is broken open to present the bronze statuette within.
