Cast Bronze figure from Burkina Faso
I purchased this very interesting bronze figure at a bronze foundry
in Ouagadougou, the capital city of Burkina Faso, in 1995. It was made
using the lost wax process. The piece is first sculpted in wax then encased
in plaster with drain holes. When heated, the wax melts and drains leaving
a cavity which is then filled with molten bronze. The plaster cast is
broken, removed and voila. 11" high Original gallery price was
$495, now reduced to $297. You will receive the one shown below. |
