The art of lost wax casting, practiced for over 4000 years, is an incredibly precise metal casting technique.  Properly executed, it ensures accurate, detailed reproduction of an original sculpture.  Historically used for many types of work from miniature to colossal in size,  the process allows for variations in finish and final appearance.  Artistic and labor intensive, projects may take weeks or more leading to ultimate value in every creation.
