Name the popular technique used by the Harappans for casting bronze.
Lost-Wax Technique
The Harappans were skilled in bronze metallurgy, producing figures such as the famous Dancing Girl of Mohenjo-daro.
They cast bronze using the Lost-Wax Technique (also called cire-perdue).
In this method a wax model is coated with clay and heated so the wax melts and drains out, leaving a hollow mould into which molten bronze is poured.
Hence, the popular casting technique used by the Harappans was the Lost-Wax Technique.
