A process that may revolution

According to the NIT OBJ

To demonstrate the process,
Mr.. Duca carved foamed po-

that looks like snow. into the
form Of a winged Pegasus. This
he buried in a sand mould.
Then molten bronze was poured
into the mould. There was an

the plastic and replaced II.
Not only is this method far
easier and cheaper than con-

but it preserves the organic

because the original carving
