These elegant bronze sculptures were created by Burkinabe artist Alain Soré.

Working with bronze is a traditional craft in Burkina Faso. The term bronze refers to various alloys based on copper, zinc, lead and tin, the proportions of which vary. Today, bronze comes from the recycling of old fittings, such as faucets or parts from air conditioning systems.

The artist first creates a wax sculpture, which is covered with a sand mixture of clay and dung and dried. The mold is then cooked, the wax melts and escapes through the holes. The molten alloy is poured and takes the place of the wax. After cooling, the mold is broken to remove the sculpture and make the final touches. Each piece is therefore unique .

Made and fairly traded in Burkina Faso, Africa.
Each piece is unique and may vary slightly from the picture.

Height: approx. 8 cm
Weight: approx. 0.15 kg

Ich habe diese Skulptur im Weltladen Lübeck gekauft, weil sie - als ich auf das Regal zuging, in dem sie stand, mich an unser Projekt in Togo erinnerte, bei dem es darum ging, 100 Kindern den Schulbesuch zu finanzieren, die ansonsten diese Möglichkeit nicht gehabt hätten. Die Skulptur zeigt in ihrer Schlichtheit, wie wichtig Bildung ist. Ich habe, da ich im Weltladen den Flyer abfotografieren durfte, die Skulptur zweimal in Ihrem Online-Shop nachbestellt und sie zu Weihnachten an eine Freundin verschenkt, die mit mir im Laden war und auch von der Skulptur schwärmte und einmal habe ich sie meiner Schwester geschenkt, mit der zusammen ich jahrelang für das Projekt in Togo Herzblut vergossen habe. Ihre Skulpturen sind wunderschön. Liebe Grüße - Heike Eggers
