Bells

These bells were made using the lost wax brass cast technique whereby wax model of the bells were made and clay applied to the model. After drying, the clay cast was heated which will result in the wax melting away. Molten brass was then poured into the mould to replace the ‘lost wax’. The brass was then allowed to cool and the mould broken away. The bells were then finished with filing and polishing. These bells were hung on the front part of the roof of a buffalo-cart.
