The bronze casting was made in India around 5000 BC and developed into the best method to reproduce artistic models.

First Gertrud Mitterstieler-Widmann modeled a clay sculpture in loving detail. After completion, this is first covered with silicone and then with a plaster coat.

The resulting negative form is then carefully poured with wax, because the resulting surface also corresponds to that of the later bronze. The resulting wax positive is now provided with pouring channels and ventilation pipes and coated with a ceramic mass.

The newly created negative form is fired in the oven, the wax melts out so that the hot, liquid bronze can now be poured into it at approx. 1000 - 1200 degrees. After cooling, the mold is removed and the sprues sawn off. But the plastic is far from finished.

The artist continues to model her sculpture with loving care until the traces of the casting process and small defects in the wax form are no longer visible. The plastic is then patinated with various chemical substances that vary depending on the desired color shading. Only now is the sculpture finished in a process that has been practiced for thousands of years to invite the viewer to linger.
