Lion statue with ball in mouth is very popular, and it is usually made of marble, and it is mainly Chinese lions. Chinese lion is very common in many tourist attractions and daily decorations. Generally, it has a ball in its mouth, a ball under its feet, and a bell on its chest. So how is the ball in the mouth of the Chinese lion carved?
There are four ways to carve a ball in the mouth of a marble lion statue:
Method 1:
First put the lion’s tongue and teeth as well as the inside of the ball and the outside of the mouth behind the pencil draw its outline, with carving tools to remove the excess stone, until the mouth appears a ball shape.
And then a little bit of the ball above and below the redundant remove, the action must be slow. Until the ball shape can come out, and then polish the ball until the ball is beautiful.
Finally, the teeth and tongue of the lion were carved fine, so that the marble lion statue’s ball carving is completed.
Method 2:
Directly remove the teeth, do a good job on the outside of the ball, and then put the ball into the mouth, and finally the teeth with special stone adhesive, and then polish.
Method 3:
Do a smaller ball, intact teeth, is to do a smaller ball on the outside, and then put in, and finally put in the place with professional stone adhesive bonding, in processing.
