After properly heating the wrapped mould in the furnace, it is then brought out to be buried in the shallow pit. These moulds are carefully arranged before the molten brass or bronze is brought out of the furnace with a small crucible (Akhe) carried with a tongue (Awan). The molten brass/bronze is poured into the hot mould. At this stage, the casters monitor the reaction of the mould to the molten brass that is being poured. This is the bronze casting stage where the molten brass is poured into the hollow cavity created by the loss of wax during heating in the furnace. The molten brass takes the shape of the wax as it fills the vacuum.
