Dancing Lady from ‘Playfulness of Women’ Collection Standing Standing Orange by Hamado Tapsoba – Burkina Faso

$25.00

The “Playfulness of Women” sculptures were crafted by a bronze artist hailing from Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, formerly known as Upper Volta. These exquisite bronze figures were meticulously shaped using the lost wax method, an ancient technique that ensures each artwork is one-of-a-kind. In ancient Burkina Faso, this method was prevalent, with honey wax being utilized instead of paraffin-based waxes, and molds made from a mixture of river mud and horse dung for added durability during metal casting.
