Detailed close-up of Pietà in bronze, 50x35 cm for OUTDOORS.
Beautiful funeral plaque made by a well-known Italian foundry recognized for its bronze funeral items. The processing technique of this cemetery plaque is called sand casting and is one of the most renowned procedures in the field of metal working. First, a cast is made using a special kind of sand, called foundry sand, based on a wooden or resin model of the statue. Then, molten bronze is poured into the cast, which will be shattered at the end of the process, to extract the piece. Once the bronze model is obtained, it is finished, polished and smoothened. Since bronze is a live material, it tends to darken over the years (if exposed outdoors): this is a peculiar feature of bronze, which will make this product beautiful and unique as times goes by.
