CAST BRONZE WORKS - from Thailand, unsigned REAL BRONZE, NOT A RESIN MIXTURE Acquired from an estate that was dealing with one foundry located in Bangkok, Thailand exclusively using the Lost Wax process. This is the most precise metal casting technique in existence, ensuring accurate reproductions of the original sculpture and exquisite detail. All bronze pieces are cast from a wax model regardless of the original material the model was sculpted in usually in clay or wax. This method was developed a thousand years ago or more. Even though modern methods and materials have improved the technique, it is still an extremely labor intensive and expensive process. Bronze is copper tin alloy (pure copper is too soft for durable works). Bronze was discovered by 3500 B.C. by the Sumerians. It is resistant to corrosion and made an ideal choice for weaponry for that reason. Steel had not yet been discovered. Other elements may be added to copper to make bronze such as manganese, phosphorus, silicon aluminum. When they're gone they're gone!
