Beautiful bronze item from the Tikar tribe of Cameroon. It might be used a belt buckle. This work begins by modeling a wax sculpture; then, one makes a mold of the sculpture by slightly coating it with refractory material: The Banko. After drying, the whole is heated, the wax melts and flows through the "empty" mold that is provided and arranged for this purpose. At the right moment, the empty wax mold is filled with liquid metal. The wax and bronze transformation is complete. After solidification and cooling of the bronze (brass by Western standards), the mold is broken to extract the sculpture. After which a long and elaborate work follows.

Shipping within 24 hours after the payment is received. Tracking number will be provided. Signature upon delivery. Fully insured. 
May as well be viewed and picked up at the Asian African Art Gallery in Vessem (NL).
