Process of Making Metal Statues in Lost Wax traditional technique
Metal Statues

The Metal Statues from Nepal are made as per traditional lost wax process. For each statue, a wax model is made by hand. Then The wax model is soaked in mud. The master craftsmen who have inherited the traditional skill, make 2 holes in it after it is dry. Then from one hole the melted metal (copper / bronze / Silver ) is poured and the shape of the wax is replaced by metal. This gives the initial statue. The statue then is carved and if necessary gold / silver and paint is applied. Then it is ready for finishing touch- sharpening the intricate carving and polishing. The whole process takes a lot of days and several people have to work. This unique product as per the designs and workmanship is divided in 3 categories : Exclusive, Full Gold Plated and Partial Gold Plated.
