Oh, and as far as molding or one of a kind work......bronzes are always molded. The Horses of San Marco were molded. Many of the Roman bronzes, and Greek bronzes were molded. Sometimes multiples were made, sometimes not. "Salon Art" of the nineteenth century depended upon bronze castings, and if a piece sold well, multiple castings were made. (Indeed, the sculpture was often only a plaster carving that was shown in the Salon, painted with a cold patina. If none were ordered, no bronzes were ever made. Some of these macquettes still exist) Swords, jewelry, and other items from the Bronze Age forward were cast in molds. Molds don't exclude art either.
