The Significance of Lost Wax Casting in Ashanti Bead Making
The lost wax process, used by the Ashanti for centuries, involves detailed and precise craftsmanship. Each bead is created with a dedication to maintaining the cultural integrity and artistic excellence that Ashanti bead making is known for. This technique not only preserves a historic art form but also ensures each bead’s uniqueness and quality.
