Bronze Reading Bookmark

Read on, read on. Read this far. Once you’ve read this far — that’s enough for today. — — — A tiny Kobito-san sitting and reading — a bronze bookmark, hand-cast using lost-wax casting in Japan. Motif size approx. 2 cm. One-of-a-kind. Each figure begins as a hand-sculpted wax original. Using traditional lost-wax casting, the wax is encased in plaster, burned away, and replaced with molten bronze — capturing every detail of the hand-carved surface. No two are exactly the same.
