- Vintage lost wax cast curved pendant from Cameroon, 63mm long
- Lost wax casting is done by first creating the shape of the item out of thins strands of bees' wax. The object is then coated with clay, leaving some openings. When the clay is heated the wax melts and runs out. Then molten, recycled brass is poured into the clay mold. After it cools the mold is broken, the object removed, cleaned and polished. Every item is unique because each mold can only be used once.
- These pendants seem ideally shaped for distinctive bracelets
