Lost wax casting
West African
Benin lost-wax casting is a sophisticated metalworking technique, traditionally used by the Edo people of Benin (now Nigeria), to create intricate bronze and brass sculptures. The process involves creating a wax model, encasing it in clay, melting out the wax, and then pouring molten metal into the resulting mold. This method allows for highly detailed and unique castings, which were historically used to decorate the Oba's palace and commemorate important events
