Discover the rich cultural heritage of Ghana with this exquisite strand of large brass beads, meticulously crafted by the Ashanti/Asante artisans using the traditional "Lost Wax" technique. Each bead in this strand is a masterpiece, formed from a unique hand-made wax mold that is destroyed once the bead is cast, ensuring that no two beads are exactly alike.
Strand Length: Approximately 23 inches (58.5 cm) - measured from bead to bead.
Bead Sizes: Lengths range from 32 to 35 mm, diameters from 22 to 23 mm.
YOUR STRAND WILL BE IDENTICAL TO THE STRAND SHOWN IN THE PHOTOGRAPH (GIVEN NORMAL VARIATION SINCE THESE BEADS ARE ALL COMPLETELY HANDMADE).
These brass beads are not only adornments but also carry a deep historical significance. Originating from a centuries-old technique, each bead tells a story of skill and tradition. The Lost Wax process is a time-honored method where wax molds are made for each bead, then destroyed, making each bead a unique artifact imbued with the culture and artistic heritage of the Ghanaian people.
