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\u003eThe clay mould is then broken off exposing the cast bronze figure. The casting is then cleaned, finer details are carved, and blemishes are removed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom India\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e8 x 8 x 11 (wxdxh cms)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUK Delivery Charge - except Highlands \u0026amp; Islands £7.50\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eMore delivery options available on checkout\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BinderKing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53550867480885,"sku":"A5949V2","price":89.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/5243\/2181\/files\/decorative-india-bronze-dhokra-work-money-box-19thc-1.jpg?v=1789232212","url":"https:\/\/binderking.shop\/products\/bronze-dhokra-work-money-box","provider":"BinderKing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
