These photos show the second filly, in pieces, before she is welded back together, with the pouring "sprues" or channels thru which the molten bronze flowed when she was cast. These will all be removed and the stubs ground down smooth and then re-tooled to match the original surface. Where there has been a piece cut out, for example the front of her face, that is called a "window" and the window itself will also be cast as a separate part and then welded back in. Having a window/s (there are several in her legs) lets the ceramic mixture get inside each piece and coat the inside and outside of the wax before it goes in the kiln. |
