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 more unusual faceted 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 13-15 x 20-22mm, with a hole size of 3mm. Strands measure approximately 26″, and have approximately 40 beads each. These beads are a very dark brown batik color which many might consider black.
These are a great find for any beader looking to do something truly unique with their work!
