casts (sculpture) (<sculpture by technique>, sculpture (visual works), ... Visual and Verbal Communication (hierarchy name))

Note: Sculptures or more generally an object that is shaped by pouring a molten material or a slurry into a mold in which it will solidify. Plaster of Paris, metal, and wax are among the cast-forming sculptural materials routinely involved in bronze production in particular. The term may also refer to the amount of homogenous molten metal resulting from a single pour. In industrial and building trade contexts, prefer "castings."
