The Lost Wax Technique and the Heritage of Ghanaian Brass Beads
The 'Lost Wax' casting method is a hallmark of traditional African metalwork, particularly among the Ashanti people of Ghana. Each bead starts as a wax model, which is then encased in clay. As the clay hardens, the wax is melted and drained away, leaving a mold that is filled with molten brass. After cooling, the clay shell is broken to reveal the bead, with each mold destroyed in the process to create a unique piece. This method imbues each bead with a history as rich as the culture from which it originates.
These brass beads not only serve as beautiful adornments but also carry significant cultural heritage, symbolizing wealth, beauty, and the ingenuity of the African people.
