Lady Playing the Dizi – Bronze Sculpture

Product Overview

The lady playing the dizi – bronze sculpture belongs to TYART’s figure collection: a dark-bronze lady with her hair in a high bun playing the dizi flute, hollow-cast in bronze by the traditional lost-wax method and hand-finished with a warm brown patina. At 300 × 550 × 980 mm, it is designed for lobby floors and large entrance surfaces.

Each lady is modeled with an elongated, dancing line — robes twisting with the gesture of playing. The gilded finish is kept warm rather than mirror-bright, so the figure glows instead of glares, and the instruments read clearly against the robe.

The finish is sealed against fingerprints and daily handling. On a lobby floor or large entrance surface, 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 Gilded Performer

Gilt bronze is the material of Western treasure — French mantel figurines, gilded muses on piano tops — and it always lifts a room. This series applies that gilded warmth to the Chinese performer: ladies playing the pipa, the erhu, the guqin, the flute — even a sheng player on horseback — drawn with elongated elegance. The gold tone reads festive without being loud, and it pairs beautifully with dark woods, marble and deep-colored walls.

Craftsmanship: Lost-Wax Casting and Hand Patina

The piece is produced by the traditional lost-wax method. Wax is modelled from the master, invested in a ceramic shell and burnt out, and molten bronze is poured into the cavity, so the finished casting is a hollow bronze shell rather than a solid block — lighter to handle, easier to place, and true to the way fine bronzes have been made for centuries. After casting, the surface is chased and polished by hand, then patinated in layered tones and sealed.

The golden finish is a layered patina with selective hand polishing — brighter on the instrument and face, softer on the robes — sealed to keep the warmth from going brassy.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the gold finish polished brass or patinated bronze?

It is patinated bronze — the golden tone is produced chemically on the bronze surface and then hand-polished in places and sealed. It is not a plated or lacquered finish, so it will not peel or flake.

2. Can I mix several musicians from this series in one display?

Yes — the series is designed as a family: pipa, erhu, guqin and flute players, plus the horseback sheng player, share proportions and finish, so two or three together read as an ensemble. Project orders can take the full set.

3. 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.

4. What is the MOQ?

We work with both single-piece orders and bulk project orders. Contact us with your quantity and destination port for an accurate quotation and lead time.

5. How is the sculpture packed for shipping?

Each piece is wrapped in protective foam and packed in a reinforced export carton; larger pieces travel in a foam-lined wooden crate. Wooden crates are standard for project shipments.
