The Making Process
The process begins with a detailed wax model, where the artisan shapes the man and woman’s postures, expressions, and attire. Clay is applied to form a mold, which is heated to remove the wax, leaving a hollow cavity. Molten metal is poured in to create the mural, which is then polished to highlight textures and intricate details. Every step reflects patience, skill, and the artisan’s emotional connection to heritage.
