The complicated mold begins to be made of the Dragon’s head. Because of the complexity of the piece and the inability to cut the head into many separate parts, a multiple-part mold must be made of the entire head. First the Dragon’s lower jaw was removed and molded separately and the remainder must be completed in 5 separate mold parts. If this were not done, the head would become trapped inside of the mold with no way to get it out.
