Product Overview
Flying Apsaras with Ribbons No.2 – Bronze is a hollow-cast bronze apsaras sculpture with a hand-applied patina. The subject — an apsaras dancer with red-and-blue ribbons, lobby view of the series — is drawn with clean sculptural planes rather than surface fuss, so the piece reads clearly from across the room and keeps rewarding detail up close. At 670 × 295 × 900 mm, it is sized for sideboards, consoles and reception counters.
Closed loops give the piece its balance: the eye enters at the figure, follows a ribbon around and returns. It is sculpture that keeps you moving, ideal for open lobbies and display plinths.
The finish is sealed against fingerprints and daily handling. On a sideboard, console or reception counter, the piece works as a quiet anchor in the room — close enough to touch, solid enough to stay put, and simple to care for with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
Design Inspiration: The Flying Apsaras
The apsaras stands for artistry that transcends the ground — imagination, music, freedom from constraint. In a home she brings an uplifting note; in hotels and cultural venues she signals hospitality raised to art. The ribbon loop closes visually from every side, so the sculpture rewards a slow walk around it.
Craftsmanship: Lost-Wax Casting and Hand Patina
Casting begins with the original master model. A wax copy is coated in ceramic, fired, and replaced with molten bronze in the lost-wax method our foundry has used for years. The hollow-cast bronze is then fettled and finished by hand — seams removed, detail sharpened, surface evened — before the patina is built up in successive washes and sealed to protect the tone. Small variations between pieces are the signature of hand finishing, not a defect.
The ribbon loops are cast hollow with graded thickness and braced internally; each loop is measured, welded and dressed so the curve runs unbroken from tip to base.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Do the apsaras figures have wings?
No — and that is the point. Apsaras fly on ribbons rather than wings, the Chinese answer to the Western winged victory. The bands you see looping around the figure are her flight.
2. Can I take several pieces from the series for one display?
Yes — the series shares pose language, scale and finish, so two or three apsaras grouped on a long console or staggered on plinths read as one sky. Project pricing is available for the set.
3. Can I order this piece in a different color?
Yes. The finish shown is the standard patina of this model, but the same sculpture can be produced in other tones — warm brown, antique gold, verdigris green or a custom two-tone patina. Hand patina is our standard process, so an alternative finish does not significantly affect lead time.
4. Is each sculpture exactly the same?
The casting comes from the same mold, so the form is consistent. The patina, however, is applied by hand, which means slight variations in tone between individual pieces — a normal characteristic of genuine cast bronze.
