DESCRIPTION OF FEATURES
Description of Features：
Five wax painting knives, each comprising three triangular copper blades mounted on bamboo sticks. The copper sheets consist of a central tongue-shaped piece, with the front and rear pieces folded upward to form a hollow space. When the three blades converge, they create a long, axe-shaped edge. This hollow design forms a reservoir for wax pooling. Heated beeswax is used to paint designs onto white cloth, which is subsequently dyed using the wax-resist method. Five knives total: two larger and three smaller ones, all identical in shape. Dimensions from left to right: First: 8 cm (L) × 1 cm (W); Second: 8 cm × 1 cm; Third: 9 cm × 2 cm; Fourth: 8 cm × 2 cm; Fifth: 8 cm × 1 cm.
