Exploring the Lost Wax Technique and Its Cultural Significance
The lost wax casting technique, cherished by the Ashanti artisans, involves a complex process where wax molds are intricately designed and then melted away, casting each bead in brass. This traditional method is not just about creating jewelry; it's a form of cultural expression that has been preserved over generations, symbolizing both the artistic skill and the cultural depth of the Ashanti people.
