Summary
Lost Wax Casting: The hollow paraffin cast is "sprued" with a treelike structure of wax and covered in a fireproof mold of clay. The core is also filled, as seen by the hole on the right hand side. The stainless steel wires sticking out are core supports, intended to maintain the distance between core and shell once the wax has been melted out. Step 4 of the lost-wax bronze casting process
