Question:

Which dynasty bronze statues were made using the "lost wax" technique?

Options:

Chola

Pandya

Chalukya

Pala

Correct Answer:

Chola

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 1- Chola

The Chola Dynasty was known for its bronze statues made using the "lost wax" technique.

The lost wax technique is an ancient method of casting metal sculptures. It involves creating a wax model of the sculpture, covering it in clay, and then melting out the wax. The molten metal is then poured into the clay mold, and the clay is removed once the metal has cooled and solidified.

The Chola Dynasty ruled over southern India from the 9th to the 13th centuries. During this time, the Chola produced some of the finest examples of bronze sculpture in the world. Chola bronze statues are known for their intricate detail and their graceful proportions.
