In the context of Victorious Youth, discuss the The Lost-Wax Process of the Techniques.
Like many other Greek artworks, the bronze statue was made through the lost-wax method. Initially, the artist created an armature or support made with a thick wooden stick, iron bars or wires, and ancient reed sticks to support appendages from the torso.  Surrounding the armature was a mixture of loam, sand, pebbles, pistachio nuts, fragments of clay and ivory, and glue.  This combination kept the structure stable through multiple layers of application.  After the final layer of clay was applied, wax sheets covered the statue's surface. During this process wax plates supported the figure from multiple points holding the statue vertically.  Nails pierced into the wax to the inner core and protruded outwards to keep the statue positioned with the external mold.  Slow heating allowed the wax to melt and fired the center and mold into a stable position.  As the wax melted, an air space formed, creating a mold of the Victorious Youth, which became filled with molten bronze.  The entire sculpture was cast in one piece; this casting technique is called the "lost wax" method.
