STORY

Style the Lost Wax Joy Statue on a shelf or a stack of books to feature this millennia-old heritage craft called cire perdue or lost wax. This statue, a graceful execution of fair trade African art, depicts a dancer in an arched arabesque with a blue skirt handcrafted by skilled artisans in Burkina Faso. This piece is sculpted first in wax, then covered in clay. When the clay hardens, molten recycled bronze is poured into the clay mold, melting the wax and hardening inside. Lastly, the hardened clay is shattered, revealing this one-of-a-kind piece to add to your art collection. The mold is broken with every statue, and the artisan begins again. A meaningful graduation, anniversary, wedding, or birthday gift and a collector's piece.
