This exquisite vintage bronze bust from benin exemplifies the exceptional artistry of the edo people. It was crafted using the traditional lost-wax casting technique, a process perfected over centuries. Initially sculpted in wax to capture intricate details, the wax model is encased in a clay or sand mold. When heated, the wax melts away, leaving a hollow cavity that is then filled with molten bronze. The result is a masterpiece of remarkable precision, showcasing the skill and cultural heritage of benin’s renowned bronze artisans. This bust not only reflects historical craftsmanship but also serves as a powerful symbol of west african artistry and tradition. Size: 15cm l x 12cm w x 42cm h See less
