Admire this nicely polished 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 saucer 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 5-8mm wide x 21-23mm diameter, with a hole size of 3mm. Strands measure approximately 23″ in length, and have approximately 70 beads each.
These are a great find for any beader looking to do something truly unique with their work!
