Repousse Buddhist Images were produced by placing a thin bronze sheet over a relief, and hammering it into shape. These were popular between the late 7th and 8th centuries, and were displayed on temple walls, or placed in small shrines for private worship.These full-scale models show the production process divided into 6stages. We hope that they enable visitors to learn about how this type of work was created and the materials used. The original art work is on display in Room2, The Gallery of Horyuji Treasures.CreationVolunteer Group, Graduate School of Fine Arts, Tokyo University of the Arts(2007–2008)
