Storyteller 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.

As this is a handmade item, colors will vary. 

Dimensions: 12H inches to the top of the headdress; 10.5H inches to the top of her head; Base: 3D inches
