Brass Statues

What is Brass?

Brass is an alloy primarily composed of copper and zinc. It has a bright gold-like appearance, is easy to work with, and is resistant to corrosion, making it an ideal material for decorative items and functional objects.

 

How Brass Statues are Made?

Making brass statues begins with creating a detailed model in clay or wax. This model is then encased in a ceramic or plaster mold, heated to melt and remove the wax, leaving a cavity in the statue's shape. Molten brass, created by heating copper and zinc together, is poured into this mold. The mold is broken away after the brass cools and solidifies to reveal the rough statue. The statue is then cleaned, smoothed, and refined by skilled artisans. Finally, it is polished and sometimes treated with chemicals to achieve the desired finish or patina.
