The Significance of the Lost Wax Technique in Ghanaian Bead Making

The lost wax process is a hallmark of traditional Ashanti craftsmanship, where artisans pour molten brass into wax molds that are then melted away, leaving behind detailed and textured beads. This meticulous technique not only illustrates the artisans' dedication to their craft but also ensures each bead's uniqueness and cultural authenticity.
