Tongshifu explains that its brass sculptures are generally hollow-cast to conserve material and make them easier to handle. As part of the lost-wax casting process, a small amount of fine casting sand may occasionally remain inside the sculpture and can gradually fall out over time. This is a characteristic of the manufacturing process and does not affect the appearance or quality of the piece.Care:
Wipe gently with a soft cotton cloth when needed.
⚠️Do not soak or immerse the sculpture in water, as moisture entering the hollow interior may cause corrosion and serious damage. Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners.Please review all photos carefully, as they are part of the description.
