La Femme En Rouge Lost Wax Bronze

Talented metal workers in Burkina Faso handcraft this serene sculpture of a lady in a red dress adorned with twists in her hair, enjoying a moment of relaxation. A small group of talented metal casting artisans in Burkina Faso cast their sculptures from recycled metal using a lost-wax casting process. First, the sculpture is carved in beeswax. Next, a clay mold is formed around it, and 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.
