First, the artist would form a clay core that would have the shape of what he wanted the piece of art to be. He would then proceed to cover the template with wax and carve elaborate details into it, making a template. This would then be covered with more clay and the whole template would then be put into the fire. The wax would melt away (thus the name “lost-wax”) and what was left was a clay mold, that could then be poured over with bronze, leaving a piece of art. The Benin Bronzes, including Oba with the Europeans are now mostly distributed around museums in Europe and the United States.

There is carving, where you carve in the body of clay and making patterns on the surface. Another one I think that would make it look better is Burnishing. Says you fire it with rubbing wood, steel or stone to produce a polished finish. I love the polish look on anything really.

POTTER’S WHEEL In pottery, a potter's wheel is a machine used in the shaping of round ceramic ware. The wheel may also be used during the process of trimming the excess body from dried ware and for applying incised decoration or rings of color. Use of the potter's wheel became widespread throughout the Old World but was unknown in the Pre-Columbian New World, where pottery was hand-made by methods that included coiling and beating. A potter's wheel may occasionally be referred to as a "potter's lathe". However, that term is better used for another kind of machine that is used for a different shaping process, turning, similar to that used for shaping of metal and wooden articles.

eruption of Vesuvius is the large number of holes found in the volcanic deposits around Pompeii that represented corpses of people and animals that were buried by the hot ash. Giuseppi Fiorelli developed the use of plaster casts to recreate the forms of plants, animals and human bodies.' The process is now named after him: the Fiorelli process. He realised that where a corpse had been buried in ash, it had rotted over time and a cavity remained. Whenever an excavator discovered a cavity, plaster of Paris was poured in and left to harden.
