Our Lady Meditating Bronze sculpture is made from a lost-wax technique when boiling bronze is poured into a mold covering an original wax sculpture that melts away. Once set, there is a very long process of refining the bronze to give it patina. This is among our bronze art pieces originally created by an unknown artist. Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth or static duster. Always avoid the use of harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they may cause damage to the item's finish. Due to the use of natural materials, handmade craftsmanship, or hand finishing, expect some color variances. Hand crafted pieces may have slight size differences.
