Asymmetrical lines bring a modern feel to the classical figure design of this hand-cast bronze sculpture, created using the lost wax process. The piece is first sculpted from clay, and a wax mold is made. At the bronze foundry, the piece is repeatedly dipped in ceramic to form a heat-resistant shell into which the liquid bronze is poured. After being removed from the mold, the bronze is smoothed, sandblasted, and mounted to a black marble base before being finished with a coat of wax. The gold-toned patina is designed to take on more weathered tones over time, for a long-lasting work that anchors your space.
