"During the Indus Valley Civilisation, artisans practiced a highly specialized method for metal casting. In this process, figures were first modelled from a specific material and then covered with a coating of clay and allowed to dry. The coated figure was then heated and the molten inner material was drained out through a tiny hole made in the clay cover. The hollow mould thus created was filled with molten metal, which took the original shape of the object. Once the metal cooled, the clay cover was completely removed. The famous bronze statue of the 'Dancing Girl' from Mohenjodaro was crafted using this exact method" What is the name of the technique described in the passage above?
