Understanding the Lost Wax Technique in Ashanti Bead Making

The lost wax process is integral to traditional Ashanti craftsmanship. This method involves creating detailed wax models of each bead, which are then cast in brass and the wax melted away. The precision and artistic skill involved in this technique result in beads that are not only beautiful but also rich in cultural history.
