Lost-wax casting

Lost-wax casting (also called "investment casting", "precision casting", or cire perdue which has been adopted into English from the French, pronounced [siʁ pɛʁdy]) is the process by which a duplicate metal sculpture (often silver, gold, brass or bronze) is cast from an original sculpture. Intricate works can be achieved by this method.
