About the Lost Wax Technique
The Lost Wax process is a meticulous method where each bead is cast from a wax model that is later melted away. This technique, practiced for centuries in Ghana, showcases the high level of craftsmanship and cultural tradition embedded in every bead.
Heritage and Value
African brass beads are not merely decorative items; they are potent symbols of communication, used historically to convey status and identity. Today, they continue to represent the rich culture and artistic legacy of Ghana.
