Many don’t know that Bronze is one of the best material to use in “modern statuary” it is 90 % copper and 10 % tin, that can withstand in any weather condition. Making Bronze Sculpture/artwork is a highly skilled work, needed to work by your hand, the process on which most Bronze Sculpture are made called lost-wax casting.

Creating Bronze Sculpture needed hardwork by artisan/craftsman, it can take 4-6 weeks to process the sculpture from moulding to finishing. You need to be an experienced artisan to create Bronze Sculpture to call out the attention of any sculpture enthusiast.
