Description
 
These great beads are made by the Krobo People of Ghana, Africa. Powder glass beads are made by crushing glass to a fine powder and heating it so that the particles fuse together. The glass is then poured into clay molds, with a cassava leaf stem used to make the hole. They are baked in an oven and the glass fuses and the cassava stem burns up. This technique has been used in Africa for centuries.

Highly informational! November 30, 2010
Reviewer: Andrew Thornton from Bolivar, PA United States  
The descriptions were so informative.  Just reading everything, I felt better informed about why the beads are the way they are and I learned about the people who made them.  I really enjoy feeling as though I've walked away knowing more.  These beads are truly fascinating!
