antique casting Casting a socket
is an ancient casting that resembles a bouquet of castings But it is casting one by one, or there may be 2-3 bodies depending on the craftsman's formula.
Each mold will only get a few pieces. This is the reason why each of the ancient Buddha images
(Even though they are the same type, they have different points. Actually, unlike modern castings, each print will come out exactly the same )
Start from carving or forming an amulet in Hard and heat resistant materials may be stone, steel or clay, depending on the formula of the bao, divided into front and back. which, in most cases, if it is a durable socket The resulting amulet will have similar details. There are advantages to casting amulets in this way. No need to form a candle but can cast a very small amount at a time
Then bring the front and back socket to join. There is an opening for pouring metal into it. Wait for the metal to harden and then open the socket. The amulet made from the casting of the socket, will have fins or metal that slides out between the socket of the socket, which will be decorated. and including decorating the slate channel through which the metal enters the socket
The original Buddha image could be a tree, a horn, or a stone.
Bring the prototype Buddha image to press on the soil. Front / back decorated with sockets. There may be some decorations of the Buddha image. Decorate the slate channel to pour metal and if looking at the characteristics of the soil made in the form Durability is probably less, so in a way. Might be handsome only once or twice. but on two occasions That handsome Buddha image should have only similarities. There will be no similarity because when casting for the first time Crazy print or details that have will fall off with the Buddha image that is metal that appears on the amulet that we call the soil, causing the traces of the land to disappear At this point, I think it's good or not. Maybe one socket per casting. Therefore, monks are similar no similarities It's like a person with two hands and two legs, but not everyone looks the same.
