Japano-italian international investigations on the large-size ancient bronze statuaries and fragments conserved in the Museo Nazionale della Magna Grecia di Reggio Calabria

技术调查进行了如何里亚切勇士是制造，古希腊青铜雕像的杰作（5世纪）。不列颠哥伦比亚省，雷焦卡拉布里亚国家考古博物馆）。在此期间，我们在欧洲旅行了五次，直接研究里亚切青铜器和ca。40件古代青铜雕塑。对两件青铜器的铸芯粘土和手、脚的固定材料铅也进行了分析。基于所获得的知识，我们用粘土-石膏-塑料制作了Riace青铜器的原始模型，旨在用假定的古代技术对整个雕像进行实验性重建。在工作过程中，我们推断和想象了原始希腊雕塑家在制作原始模型时所遵循的实际程序。他们的蜡模制作方法被认为是两件青铜器的间接失蜡铸造工艺。

Technical investigations were carried out into how the Riace Warriors were fabricated, the masterpieces of the Ancient Greek Bronze Statuary (5th c. B.C., Museo Nazionale Archeologico di Reggio Calabria).During the period we travelled in Europe five times for the direct research on the Riace Bronzes and ca. 40 ancient bronze sculptures. Casting core clay extracted out of the bodies of the two Bronzes and lead served as fixing materials in both hands and feet were also examined and analyzed. Based on the acquired knowledge, we manufactured our original models of the Riace Bronzes, in clay-plaster-plastic, intended to serve in the following experimental reconstruction of the whole statues with the supposed ancient techniques. During the work we deduced and imagined the practical procedures followed by the original Greek sculptors in making their original models. Their method of making wax model has been assumed as essentially indirect lost-wax casting process for both Bronzes.
