The Lost Wax Technique and Its Cultural Impact on Ashanti Craftsmanship
The lost wax process, a hallmark of Ashanti artisanry, involves intricate steps where wax is sculpted and then melted away, leaving finely detailed brass beads. This method not only demonstrates the artisans' technical skill but also their commitment to preserving a time-honored tradition that has been passed down through generations.
