Discover the Uniqueness of Handcrafted Cube-Shaped Brass Beads
Embrace the authentic craftsmanship of the Ashanti people with these exquisite cube-shaped brass beads from Ghana, West Africa. Each bead is meticulously created using the ancient "Lost Wax" technique, ensuring that no two beads are exactly alike.
Product Specifications:
- Length of Strand: Approximately 20 1/2" (52 cm) from bead to bead
- Bead Dimensions: Approximately 15 mm X 14 mm X 14 mm each
YOUR STRAND WILL BE IDENTICAL TO THE STRAND SHOWN IN THE PHOTOGRAPH (GIVEN NORMAL VARIATION SINCE THESE BEADS ARE ALL COMPLETELY HANDMADE).
Each bead's mold is handcrafted from wax and uniquely destroyed to extract the final brass product, highlighting the personalized nature of this ancient art form. 100% handmade, these beads not only represent aesthetic beauty but also the rich cultural heritage of Ghanaian craftsmanship.
About the Lost Wax Technique
This traditional method of brass casting, utilized by the people of Ashanti, involves creating a wax model of the item to be cast. The wax model is encased in a clay mold, and as the mold is heated, the wax melts away leaving a cavity. Molten brass is then poured into this cavity, forming the intricate beads that adorn your strand.
The Significance of Brass Beads in Ghanaian Culture
In Ghana, brass beads are not merely decorative items but carry deep cultural significance, often used in ceremonies and as symbols of wealth and status. By wearing these beads, you connect with the centuries-old traditions that continue to thrive in the heart of Africa.
