with its mold and its rights

It's important to have the mold since the piece is unique.
Peer comment(s):
agree Philippa Smith : I'd maybe say just "with mold and rights". And could you use "plaster cast", which is where my research led?

Thank you. Not sure if you can use plaster to cast bronze. I was using "its" to reinforce the unique quality of the piece, but that might not be necessary.
agree Alison Sabedoria (X) : Plaster often used for small first stage moulds (see link)

Thank you.
agree B D Finch : Re Philippa's query, not "plaster cast", as that would be a positive, not (as a mould is) a negative form, but yes the mould can be plaster. See: http://www.modernsculpture.com/bronze.htm
