Crafted Using the Lost-Wax Casting Technique

This statue is a masterpiece of the lost-wax casting process, an ancient method that showcases the exceptional skill of Nepali artisans.

• Process Details:
  1. A detailed wax model is sculpted, reflecting the Buddha’s serene and intricate features.
  2. The model is encased in a ceramic mold, which hardens to form a shell.
  3. The wax is melted and drained out, leaving a hollow cavity.
  4. Molten copper is poured into the cavity to create the final sculpture.
  5. The ceramic mold is broken away, revealing the statue, which is then treated with the chocolate oxidized finish.
