Description
The description outlines a gold-plated Tibetan statue of Marici, a deity associated with light and the sun in Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism. Marici is depicted in various forms, often riding a boar or standing on a lotus. This particular statue is made of copper, weighs 425 grams, and measures 14 x 10 x 5 centimeters. It is available for purchase.
The statue has undergone electro-gold plating, a contemporary method that uses an electric current to apply a thin layer of gold onto the surface. This technique is efficient and cost-effective compared to traditional methods.
Crafted using the ceramic mold casting process, the statue begins with a detailed wax model. Layers of ceramic material are then applied to create a mold, which is fired in a kiln to remove the wax and leave behind a cavity. Molten metal is poured into the mold, filling the cavity and forming the final statue. Once cooled, the ceramic mold is removed to reveal the finished metal sculpture.
