armatures (sculpture components) (sculpture components, visual works components, ... Components (hierarchy name)) |

Note: Assemblages of joined metal rods, tubes, wires or other materials such as wood that provides a structural framework for a sculpture and usually attaches to a base. Though generally internal, these may also include external supporting components that are eventually removed. In a lost-wax bronze, the armature is created to support the model, whether it is hollow or solid. In the case of a hollow cast, it will further help support the refractory mass of the core during the pour. Armatures may also be used in the assembly of a sculpture that was cast in parts, and in the repair of sculptures that have been structurally damaged. For the structural frames used to sustain or reinforce buildings or other structures, use "armatures (structural frames)."

| French ..... Élément ou ensemble d’éléments (barres, tubes, fils) destinés à armer le noyau, et plus généralement le modèle. Ils peuvent se trouver dans le moule réfractaire pour le rendre plus résistant lors de sa manipulation et lors de la coulée. Une cire pleine peut être armée. L’armature peut, dans le cas des grandes fontes, également servir à renforcer le bronze. |
| German ..... Starres Gestell oder Innengerüst, von Bildhauern als eine Art Skelett verwendet, um formbares Material beim Aufbau zu stabilisieren.
