Understanding the Lost Wax Technique and the Legacy of Ghanaian Brass Beads

The ancient lost wax casting technique practiced by the Ashanti artisans of Ghana involves creating a temporary wax model for each bead. This intricate process not only signifies the artistic dedication but also preserves the long-standing tradition of brass bead making in Ghana, which is steeped in cultural significance and valued for its artistic and historical richness.
