☛ LOST-WAX SYSTEM
This Statues – Miniature of Vajravarahi is made by the process of the Lost Wax system. This is a very complicated, time consuming and historic process of making metal sculptures.Which is why it is sometimes called Precision Casting as well. Hence the sculptures made by this process are comparatively expensive. There are many new, advanced and less time consuming methods of casting metal sculptures available as well. But due to the benefits provided by the traditional lost wax system in quality control and customization, we prefer the Loss wax system over Ceramic molding, or sand casting to make our Statues – Miniature.

☛ FINISHING: CHOCOLATE OXIDIZED
This statue of Vajravarahi has been given a chocolate color antique patina. This oxidation is an imitation of a copper statue aged more than 100 years. This color has not been painted on the statue so the patina will not wear off easily, This patina comes to the statue by artificial oxidation process which will also protect the statue from natural oxidation.
