<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 398551, member: 8267"]Such bronzes are usually made with the lost wax casting technique, and would be hollow. I know that Himalayan Buddhist bronzes are often sealed on the bottom. They are consecrated through a ritual which involves placing sacred materials inside and sealing the bottom. I don't know if that would be the case with this Ganesh. Perhaps [USER=2844]@Any Jewelry[/USER] will drop by.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
