Thanks!

But I would request more light on this.

I would like to know if "waxen images" is correct, why can't we say "waxen sculptures"?

Sorry, but for things like this there isn't a "reason" why we say "wax sculptures" instead of "waxen sculptures". It's a collocation. A lot of language just has to be remembered as it is.
