The translucency of beeswax allows the artist to see the results of his labor as he works. Next a plaster casting is taken from the beeswax followed by fine porcelain paste pressed into this mold. After drying, the panels are kiln fired to 2300 degrees F to achieve their extreme density and remarkable translucency. Lamp height 91/2”, Lithophane image H.41/4” W. 31/2.
