Item Specific Details & Notes

Loss Wax System
This is the Nepali handmade statue, made by the process of los wax system with the skillful hands of Nepali crafts man from Patan a famous city inside Kathmandu valley popular for metal crafts.

Finishing
This is full fire Gilded statue with the Painted Face. The gold Gilding is done by the ancient process of gold plating, where a grinded mixture of Gold, Mercury and Glass is applied to the body of the statue, which then is heated, burning off the mercury and leaving back a rich permanent plating of gold.

Face Painted
After the Gold plating is completed we will put various foundations of yellow pastes and color to even out the surface of the face then apply a Real Powder gold coat via brush on the statues face. This provides a canvas like surface to draw the eyes and mouth of the statue. This process is traditionally known as eye opening.

Centuries-Old Lost-Wax Metal Casting

Each sculpture at Handmade Handicraft is crafted using the ancient cire-perdue (lost-wax) technique, a craft perfected over a millennium by the Newar artisans of Patan. The process begins with sculpting beeswax and Himalayan tree resin by hand. A multi-layered clay mold is formed around the wax, which is melted away in the furnace, creating a void that is filled with molten red copper or bronze.

24K Mercury Gilding

Applied with pure gold leaf and fused using fire gilding for an ethereal sheen that endures for generations.

Cold-Gold Face Painting

The sacred facial features and serene gaze of deities are carefully rendered with powdered cold gold and natural pigments.

Hand-Chiseled Detailing

Intricate robes, mandalas, and jewels are carved by hand with miniature steel chisels and devotion.
