Metro Discounts Gifts

Brass Artwork Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. All brass items from Metro Discounts are made of solid brass using the Lost Wax Method. This process of creating artwork is now done almost exclusively in Africa; although it had been in use in other parts of the world. This is an exceptionally labor intensive process where a wax mold is formed by hand, over an open fire until the mold is exactly as intended. The wax is then dipped into very fine powdered mud several times; being allowed to harden between applications; this forms a clay casting around the mold The clay is then heated until the wax melts and is poured out of its casting. Finally molten brass is poured into the casting replacing the old wax mold. The clay is then broken away from the brass; leaving a solid brass work of art. Each piece is individually made. No two are exactly the same because the mold is broken in the process of making the piece. These will maintain thier brilliant look indefinitely since eack work is solid brass; not just plated.
