These exquisite brass beads showcase the rich heritage and meticulous craftsmanship of the Ashanti people. The lost wax technique, a method that has been passed down for generations, involves creating a detailed wax mold for each bead. After the wax is covered in clay and heated to melt away the wax, molten brass is poured into the cavity left behind, creating intricate beads with a distinctive finish.
The Ashanti people are known for their exceptional metalwork, and this strand of beads is a testament to their enduring legacy. Each bead reflects the traditional artistry of Ghana and serves as a beautiful piece for collectors and jewelry designers alike.
