process by which a duplicate sculpture (often metal) is cast from an original sculpture
Illustration of stepwise bronze casting by the lost-wax method
Lost-wax casting – also called investment casting, precision casting, or cire perdue ( French: [siʁ pɛʁdy]; borrowed from French) – is the process by which a duplicate sculpture (often a metal, such as silver, gold, brass, or bronze) is cast from an original sculpture. Intricate works can be achieved by this method.
