About the Lost Wax Technique and the Significance of Ghanaian Brass Beads
The lost wax casting process used by the Ashanti artisans in Ghana involves intricate steps where wax models are made and then encased in clay. As the molds are heated, the wax melts away, leaving a cavity for molten brass. Each creation is a testament to the skill and cultural heritage of the Ashanti people, reflecting both artistic and spiritual significance in Ghanaian society.
