Question 17

Name and briefly describe the process by which sculpture in metal was done.

Answer

The sculpture in metal was done through the special lost wax process. In this process wax figures were covered with a coating of clay. Then the wax was melted by heating and the hollow mould thus created was filled with molten metal which took the original shape of the object.
