Admire this unusual strand of bone beads from Kenya. While Kenyan bone beads are common in a variety of shapes and styles, these beads come in a hard-to-find cylinder shape. East African bone beads are handcrafted by artisans using recycled cow bone. Each bead is individually carved and polished, and is truly one of a kind.
These beads measure approximately 25-27 x 22-24mm, with a hole size of 3mm. Strands measure approximately 26", and have approximately 20 beads each. Some strands may be more matte while others may be more polished.
These are a great find for any beader looking to do something truly unique with their work!
ASTOUNDING! These are beads of Power and I think they need to be carefully used with great respect. I don't know if their maker felt that way, but I certainly do. I really love them. What significance do the
eyes have? I also wondering whose bones these were - cattle? Camel? No matter; I am very glad to have them.
Symmetrical and beautiful love all the bone beads; I purchased several styles, all very high quality. Thanks for the super fast delivery and the discount! Glad I joined the VIP!
