In Hinduism

Shilpashastra (iconography)

: Shodhganga: Vaisnava Agamas And Visnu Images

ūṇa (असम्पूर्�) refers to “incompletion of the garbha�, mentioned in a list of difficulties during the process of beeswax modeling (ūṣṭ), as defined in treatises such as the Pāñcarātra, Pādmasaṃhi and Vaikhānasa-āgamas, extensively dealing with the technical features of temple art, iconography and architecture in Vaishnavism.—The Vaiṣṇava Āgamas insist that the metal icons should be made through a casting process called Madhūcchiṣṭa-kriyā. [...] Atri defines the complete casting-presence of all parts of the body, presence of all ṣaṇa whatever found on the bee-wax moulding, attributes and ornaments properly attached together. The authors were aware of certain difficulties in the casting, i.e., ṇḍٲ (broken), ṭiٲ (cracks) and ūṇa (incompletion of the garbha). In such, it is considered just the metal but not the icon. In any of the problem, the trio, i.e. Ācarya, Yajamāna and Śilpin should inspect the output and should decide the remaking of bee wax model and casting.
