"Water Carrier" Bronze Sculpture (Green)

"Water Carrier" Bronze Sculpture (Green)

£33.00Price

These exquisite bronze sculptures, crafted by Burkinabe artist Adama Ouedraogo, are a testament to the traditional bronze craftsmanship in Burkina Faso. The term "bronze" encompasses various copper-based alloys with varying proportions of copper, zinc, lead, and tin, often sourced from recycled materials like old water taps or air conditioning components.

The artistic process begins with the creation of a wax sculpture, which is then covered in a clay and dung mixture, dried, and boiled. As the wax melts and escapes through small holes, molten alloy is poured in its place. After cooling, the mold is shattered to reveal the unique sculpture, which is then meticulously finished by the artist.

These pieces are authentically crafted and ethically traded in Burkina Faso, and each one is distinct, with potential slight variations from the provided picture.
