The process involves carving beeswax with a knife to create the model. The wax carving is coated with a thin layer of powdered charcoal and dried in the sun. Charcoal coating is repeated a second time. A mix of soft clay and palm fiber is then prepared to mold the wax carving with two thick layers and an inlet pipe is inserted into the clay mold.

The mold which encapsulates the wax carving is sun–dried for a day and cooked in a traditional oven. The craftsman uses brass craps purchased in the market to prepare the alloy. He beats the brass pieces into very small ones and melts them in a crucible under high heat from charcoal fire.

The molten alloy is poured through the pipe that was inserted into the clay mold. The alloy therefore occupies the space left by the molten wax. The clay mold with the cast is then left to cool down for about an hour.

The mold is broken, thus revealing a unique brass artifact which is then rinsed and soaked in a mix of water with lemon juice for two days. The lemon juice improves the luster of the brass. The final touch is done by a meticulous work consisting in filing, sanding, scraping, brushing and polishing.
