The wax model melts leaving an empty clay mould. The mould is then heated and molten brass or bronze is poured into the empty clay-mould. When the mould is entirely filled it is left to cool.\u003cbr\u003e The clay mould is then broken off exposing the cast bronze figure. The casting is then cleaned, finer details are carved, and blemishes are removed.\u003cbr\u003e From India\u003cbr\u003e 15 x 9.5 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUK Delivery Charge - except Highlands \u0026amp; Islands £7.50\u003cbr\u003e More delivery options available on checkout\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BinderKing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53551312273717,"sku":"A7897","price":92.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/5243\/2181\/files\/decorative-india-lost-wax-brass-money-box-ca-100-yrs-old-1.jpg?v=1789233272","url":"https:\/\/binderking.shop\/products\/a7897","provider":"BinderKing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
