Statue in Duba Square, Bhaktapur, Nepal Bronze Lion in Front of Shiva Temple

Its surface is covered with a thin layer of other metals as a protective layer. Metal craftsmanship was introduced late in Nepal, and the earliest sculptures were usually made of stone. In the early days, most of the craftsmen of the metal statues were monks serving Buddhist schools. They make religious sculptures for the monasteries (vihara) of Mahayana Buddhism.
