Discover the rich tradition and craftsmanship with our NEW handcrafted brass beads from the Ashanti/Asante people of Ghana, West Africa. Each bead on this strand is meticulously created using the ancient "Lost wax" technique, a revered art form that requires a unique wax mold for each bead, which is then destroyed to extract the meticulously crafted brass piece.
Your strand details:
Length of strand: approximately 20 1/4" (51.5 cm) — measured from bead to bead.
Bead size: 24 - 26 mm in length and 12 - 13 mm in diameter.
YOUR STRAND WILL BE IDENTICAL TO THE STRAND SHOWN IN THE PHOTOGRAPH (GIVEN NORMAL VARIATION SINCE THESE BEADS ARE ALL COMPLETELY HANDMADE).
The lost wax casting process used to create these beads is a testament to the skills passed down through generations, where each brass bead is not just an accessory but a piece of art imbued with cultural history and significance. Owning this strand means holding a fragment of Ghanaian heritage, symbolizing both beauty and the enduring spirit of Africa's craftsmanship.
