Dog in Bronze (142|12000660)

Dog by Currey and Company in Bronze finish The Dog of the Moon Bronze is a metal sculpture with a beautiful patina. The pinched effect on the surface illustrates how talented artisans are adept at achieving a great sense of movement. Made using a lost-wax technique when boiling bronze is poured into a mold covering an original wax sculpture that melts away, the raw bronze is only halfway to its ultimate beauty. Once set, there is a very long process of refining the surface to lend it greater sheen and patina. The spindly profile of the creature is a poetic reference to masters working in bronze in the past. {ADDITIONAL FINISH INFORMATION: Bronze}
