Which attribute limited the size of bronze castings produced via lost-wax casting?

💡 Explanation

As bronze cools in a large lost-wax casting, significant pressure is exerted because of material density, thus the wax mold undergoes creep deformation due to prolonged stress, leading to shape distortions of the final bronze object. The wax mold deformation limits size rather than melting, crucible failure or oxidation, which less directly affects dimensions.
