Comments: Face of a two-sided mold (in black) to obtain bronze jewelry (imprint and modern samples on the right). This indicates mass production: two molds were placed side by side to allow the molten metal to be poured in a single movement into several molds without having to reheat it. The technique of cast iron has been known since the fourth millennium, copper in the first times, then bronze. Sippar - 6th century BC.
From Wikipedia, Molding: Molding (American English) or moulding (British and Commonwealth English; see spelling differences) is the process of manufacturing by shaping liquid or pliable raw material using a rigid frame called a mold or matrix. This itself may have been made using a pattern or model of the final object.
A mold or mould is a hollowed-out block that is filled with a liquid or pliable material such as plastic, glass, metal, or ceramic raw material. The liquid hardens or sets inside the mold, adopting its shape. A mold is a counterpart to a cast. The very common bi-valve molding process uses two molds, one for each half of the object.
