Handcrafted Tabular Brass Beads from Ghana
Experience the timeless beauty of Ghana with this exquisite strand of Tabular Brass Beads, crafted using the ancient "Lost Wax" technique. Each bead is meticulously hand-made by the skilled artisans of the Ashanti people in Ghana, West Africa, ensuring a piece of authentic African heritage in every strand.
Dimensions:
- Strand Length: Approximately 21 3/4 inches (55 cm) from bead to bead
- Bead Size: Approximately 18-19 mm x 20 mm x 9 mm
YOUR STRAND WILL BE IDENTICAL TO THE STRAND SHOWN IN THE PHOTOGRAPH (GIVEN NORMAL VARIATION SINCE THESE BEADS ARE ALL COMPLETELY HANDMADE).
Each bead begins its journey with a hand-crafted wax mold that is destroyed once the bead is forged, marking each piece as unique and irreplaceable.
About the "Lost Wax" Technique
The "Lost Wax" casting method used by the Ashanti artisans is a time-honored tradition in Ghana, showcasing a rich cultural history intertwined with skilled craftsmanship. This method, while labor-intensive, ensures that each bead is a testament to both the heritage and the dedication of its maker.
Heritage and Values of Brass Beads
In Ghanaian culture, brass beads are more than just adornments. They are a medium of expression and carry significant cultural values, often used in ceremonies and as symbols of status and identity.
