Subsequent Casts
In 1907, Oskar von Miller, son of Ferdinand von Millers and founder of the Deutsches Museum in Munich, arranged to have a full-size casting made of the right hand of the Bavaria statue.
It was produced at the Royal Metal Foundry Ferdinand von Miller, consists of the same material as the original (92% copper, 5% zinc, 2% tin, 1% lead), has a wall thickness of 4-8 millimeters, and weighs 420 kilograms.
This copy has been on display ever since in the metallurgy collection of the Deutsches Museum.
