content: Edited film: shows the steps taken to form a metal head decoration using the lost-wax method in Chad. A wax model depicting a camel is made and then is covered with clay. The next day the dried form is heated, the wax melted out, and the cast filled with hot liquid metal. When the cast becomes cool, it is smashed and the decoration is finished.
