Like their forefathers, Ghana’s modern brass casters begin the process of making metal articles by sculpting in beeswax. The wax form is then painted with a paste of fine charcoal and water and covered in a mold of coarse palm fibers and clay. This porous mixture permits the necessary release of hot air and gases as the mold is baked, giving the final product a smooth finish. Finally, the melted wax is poured out and replaced by molten brass. The finished brass piece is polished with palm nut fibers and sand over several days. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-83100d02-7fff-c06d-fa1b-f62bd0e1ebc3\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e*Please note: these are preorder and will ship in 2 weeks (delivery before Christmas)*\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2.25” wide x 1” tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet of 2 Napkin Rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCare instructions: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eD\u003cspan\u003eo not put in dishwasher. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eTo brighten the brass if it tarnishes, scrub with lemon juice.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade in Ghana\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Molly Keogh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67443231686731,"sku":"AMKBR001","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1728\/8847\/files\/IMG_4523.jpg?v=1794329520","url":"https:\/\/www.shopzuri.com\/zh\/products\/handmade-brass-napkin-rings","provider":"Zuri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
