Lost-Wax Casting – Precision and Tradition

The lost-wax system, used in crafting this statue, showcases unparalleled artistry and skill.

1. Wax Model Creation: The process begins with sculpting a detailed wax model, capturing every intricate feature of Jambhala.
2. Ceramic Shell Formation: The wax model is coated with multiple layers of ceramic, creating a sturdy mold.
3. Wax Removal: The mold is heated to drain the wax, forming a cavity for the molten metal.
4. Metal Pouring: Molten copper is poured into the mold, creating the final statue.
5. Finishing Touches: Once the metal cools, the ceramic shell is removed, revealing the finely detailed sculpture.

This ancient technique ensures durability, precision, and aesthetic excellence.
