LOST WAX METHOD: These brass ornamental beads have been made by using the Lost Wax Method of casting. This process involves sculpting or building a form in wax which is covered with successive layers of earthen clay to make a mold. Molten metal is poured into the mold, melting the wax so it runs out through a hole which is left unplugged. After the metal sets, becomes solidified and is colled, the mold is broken and the piece is removed.
