Description

These brass napkin rings were crafted using a traditional lost wax technic in Kumasi, Ghana. The mould is made from wax and then covered in dung and earth and left to dry. The melted recycled brass melts the wax and takes it's place like magic! One unique mould makes one unique piece. 

The Akan symbols are from the Akan people of West Africa, spanning Ghana and the Ivory Coast. every symbol brings with it a proverb and a traditional token of wisdom.
