As with all rondelle shaped beads, they are a bit like a UFO shape, with the hole going through the centre in the thickest part.
The bead is painted black, and has lined scored from one hole around to the other, and a line around the widest part of the bead. In between all the lines is a small dot. The lines and dots are all painted gold. Each bead weighs about 5 grams.
These clay beads are very old stock from a warehouse clearance, that we scooped up years ago. You won't find beads in many places that are like these! Truly unique handmade beads! These beads were made individually by hand in Ghana, Africa a long time ago.
Being handmade there is a lot of variation in the sizing and shapes. We have taken photos in front of a ruler, as well as alone, to try and show the approximate sizing of the beads.
Measurements: Due to the huge variation, we won't measure proportions, sizes or hole sizes here. Please refer to the photos for that kind of information. Basically they are about 20mm across.
Quantity per pack: 10
These beads are from a collection of bisque fired (no glaze) terracotta/clay/ceramic. There are a lot of definitions of the way these beads are made, and if you are interested, have a google about them and gather information. They are amazing beads to find out about!
We can't be certain of their exact information, rather we are giving suggestions of what these beads are, and where they are from, how they are made etc, from information gathered from our general observations over the last many years in the bead trade.
We will attempt to give you beads that all look similar for each pack that you buy.
