The lost wax technique involves creating a wax model for each bead, which is encased in clay. The wax is then melted away, leaving a mold for the brass to be poured into. After cooling, the mold is broken to reveal the bead, making each piece entirely unique. This centuries-old method speaks to the rich cultural history of brass bead-making in Ghana, where brass beads have long been symbols of wealth, status, and artistic expression.
