Description:

        Here we have a Keerthimukha on a plaque with amazing details. Keerthimukha, also known as Kirtimukha, is an important mythological character popular in Indian and Southeast Asian cultures. The term "Keerthimukha" is derived from the Sanskrit words "keerthi" (glory, fame) and "mukha" (face), translating to "face of glory" or "face of fame." It is associated with Shiva and found at the center of the arch of Prabhavali. It is believed that it is a protective entity commonly seen guarding temple entrances.

         It is crafted using the lost wax technique, which has been used for over 5700 years. The lost-wax process, also known as cire-perdue, is a way of making metal objects. First, a wax model is made, which is then put into a mold. The mold is filled with molten metal, which melts the wax and takes its place. The “lost wax” technique is so called because the wax model is destroyed in order to create the piece. The technique is sometimes called the “lost mold” technique because the mold, too, is destroyed in the process.
