Remaining foot of a colossal statute. The height of the statue (probably an emperor) is 3.3–3.5 m. While the overall shape was produced using the indirect lost-wax process, the decoration was created by adding wax rods and threads directly to the wax model. Colossal Foot of Clermont-Ferrand, Roman (Gaule), early 2nd century CE, L. 58 cm (Musée de Clermont-Ferrand, Gaule). See Darblade-Audoin, Maria Pia, and Olivier Tavoso with the collaboration of Guy Alfonso and Benoît Mille. 2008. “Le pied de bronze colossal de Clermont-Ferrand.” Monuments et mémoires de la Fondation Eugène Piot, no. 87, 31–68..
