Woman with Hand on Heart Bronze Statue 40 cm for OUTDOORS.
Statue of excellent workmanship manuactured by an Italian company appreciated in the working of bronze and operating in the field of cemetery items.Funeral woman statue made with the technique of lost wax casting. A technique known since antiquity where, on a core in refractory earth, the figure is modeled with wax in all its details. The wax is covered by a layer of refractory ceramic, which creates the so-called external shape or hood. This block is fired (400-500 °). The wax melts out of the drains and leaves an empty space between the inner core and the outer form. In this cavity the liquid bronze is poured which, solidifying, takes the shape of the figure modeled in the wax. Once cooled, the external shape is broken and the bronze statue is drawn. The last phase consists in eliminating metal smears, smoothing the surface and engraving details.With this procedure, only unique specimens are obtained, given the ineluctable loss of the wax model and the clay coating.The statue can be exhibited both indoors and outdoors. The statue is colored with paints that allow it to resist even outside. Bronze, being a living material, over the years (if exposed to the outside) tends to become dark: this characteristic represents the beauty of bronze.
