Talented metal workers in Burkina Faso handcraft these beautiful sculptures using a lost wax casting method. The artisan sculpts wax, then pack it with clay or a mud/dung mixture. When the clay is dry, the wax is melted leaving a cavity. Reclaimed molten bronze is poured into the mold, filling the shape. After the metal cools, the artisan breaks the clay, revealing a one-of-a-kind figure.
Designed to sit on the edge of a ledge, shelf or table.
Each figure is one of a kind.
