A beautifully designed bronze urn with a cat’s head on a sphere with an ash reservoir where part of the cremation ashes can be kept. This way you have a beautiful memorial ornament.<\/p>\n

This bronze object is made in a traditional manner using the so-called lost wax method.<\/p>\n

This is done as follows: a wax model is embedded in a refractory mass such as clay, after which the wax is melted out and the mold is dried. Bronze is then poured into the resulting cavity. After cooling, the mold is dismantled and the opening through which the bronze was poured into the mold is sawn off, leaving the sculpture. Finally, the statue is finished by soldering holes closed, grinding away imperfections and then coloring it with an acid. Larger bronze statues are cast in parts and then welded together and then ground smooth.<\/p>\n

Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin. The higher the copper content, the higher quality the bronze is. This statue has a minimum copper content of 75%, which absolutely guarantees durability.<\/p>\n

Outdoors, bronze statues will become slightly duller in color, you can make them shiny again by maintaining them with beeswax.<\/p>\n
