Seated Beauty Lost Wax Statue, Burkina Faso

Artisans in Burkina Faso convey the serene beauty of feminine Africa in bronze, cast with the lost wax method: the sculpture is carved in beeswax and a clay mold is formed around it, then the wax is melted away, leaving a void to fill with molten bronze.

Each sculpture bears unique characteristics that reveal the handmade nature of its creation. Because this is a handcrafted item, each will vary slightly. 

Dimensions: 2.5" W x 4" H / 6 cm W x 10 cm H, and designed to sit on a ledge or shelf.
