Introducing our exquisite New Round Brass Beads Strand, expertly handcrafted by the Ashanti artisans of Ghana. Each bead is produced using the ancient lost wax technique, where a unique wax mold is fashioned for every bead, then destroyed after casting, ensuring no two beads are alike.
Product Details:
- Strand Length: Approximately 20 1/2 inches (51.5 cm) from bead to bead
- Bead Diameter: Each bead measures between 11-13 mm
YOUR STRAND WILL BE IDENTICAL TO THE STRAND SHOWN IN THE PHOTOGRAPH (GIVEN NORMAL VARIATION SINCE THESE BEADS ARE ALL COMPLETELY HANDMADE).
This strand of beads is not just an accessory, but a testament to the Ashanti's profound craftsmanship and cultural history. These beads are perfect for anyone who appreciates authentic, handcrafted art and wants to carry a piece of African heritage.
The Legacy of Lost Wax Casting in Ashanti Bead Making
The lost wax process, a cornerstone of Ashanti craftsmanship, involves detailed and precise handwork to create wax models that are eventually melted away to form these unique brass beads. This method not only preserves ancient crafting techniques but also imbues each bead with cultural significance and historical value.
