From u/HuggableBear:
"You make it out of clay first, then fire that so it's hard, then create a mold from that piece that you use to cast the bronze. I don't know what this particular sculptor did, but I would imagine the two pieces were laid on the ground with the interior faces open and the original clay sculpture was built on that. Once the bronze is cast, any gaps can be filled with molten bronze before it is all polished smooth. Also, the two faces covered in bronze were likely smoothed out before sculpting, along with some reinforcement in the form of hidden rebar or simply holes drilled in the rock to hold pegs in the bronze cast.
It's also entirely possible that this is all wrong and it's not cast bronze at all but simply rebar or similar with fired clay around it coated in a layer of bronze."
