Lion’s Head – Bronze Cold Cast Sculpture

This is a Bronze Resin Cold Cast of a Lion’s head with an attached wood base. This is an original design by the artist and is individually cast by the artist. It was originally designed as a finial for a stairway post. The original model from which this cast was made was carved from wood.  Currently, most of my work is conceived in this same manner. First carved from wood, then a mold is made from the original, and then resin casting is made from the mold.  The filler material for this piece is bronze powder.  The finished cast can then be treated with liver of sulfur as with any cast bronze to achieve the customary patina for the antique look that is so indicative of cast bronze. On this piece, I have chosen to mount the piece on a wooden base to give it a little more height for balance of form.
