This rare and vintage collectible is an unique statue of a man with a distinct moustache holding a sword. With a knee length dhoti, he seems to be dressed like a Lingayat warrior from North Karnataka. This interesting idol is believed to have been made using Lost Wax technique.

Lost wax technique of bronze casting is an age-old method dating back to at least 5700 years. This method gained prominence in India during the Chola period in the 11th century. 

The lost wax technique includes a series of distinct stages which begins with an artist creating an original detailed model from wax (mixture of beeswax and resin). Then the actual mould that covers the wax statue is made using white clay, pasty mixture, rice husk and sand. Once the mould is dry, a small hole is made in the mould and it is heated so that the wax melts and runs out leaving the mould hollow. Molten bronze is then poured through the hole and it is left to cool. The outer mould is then chipped away to uncover the bronze statue. Delicate reconstructive work is done on it for the final finishing.

All the idols made using this method are one of a kind and can never be reproduced as the mould needs to be broken to take out the casting.

Funny and unexpected
Format: Hardcover
I bought this book for my girlfriend who is a big Ralph Wiggum fan. When it arrived, I was shocked to see what a thorough exploration of the character it was. I'm not saying it's all canon in terms of the show, as i saw some complaints that there was stuff in this book that wouldn't make sense to the Ralph character (such as his love for Lisa) due to them "breaking up" in a past episode, but come on, that's a hogwash complaint. The whole point of this book is to entertain, and it does so in spades, so it comes highly recommended. And this is coming from a huge 'The Simpsons' fan himself. Oh, and by the way, my girlfriend loved it, too.

Fun advise
Format: Hardcover
Great advise. My son has been a Simpsons fan since the Butterfinger commercials. A no brainer for a father's day gift.
