These brass beads, made in Ghana, have significant cultural importance. Brass beads have been an essential part of African adornment and trade for centuries, especially among the Ashanti people. They represent power, wealth, and history, often passed down through generations.
The "Lost Wax" casting method used in creating these beads is an ancient and highly respected technique. A hand-carved wax model is used to form a mold, which is melted away during the casting process. This method, with origins tracing back hundreds of years in Africa, produces intricate designs and ensures that no two beads are ever exactly alike.
