Cast

(kast.) (From Goth. kasta, to cast.] (Fine Arts.) Any statue, or part of one, of bronze, plaster of Paris, . Acast is that which owes its figure to the mould into which the matter of it has been poured while in a fluid state; and thus differs from a model, which is made by repeated efforts with a ductile substance, as any adhesive earth; and from a piece of sculpture, which is the work of the chisel.
