Old Nepalese beads, made from bone. The beads have been made from bones that have a natural hollow inside after cleaning out the marrow (such as the leg bones from smaller mammals). After cleaning and polishing the pieces of bone, the hollow has been filled again with a clay-like substance, which has been pierced with an approximately 3 millimeters wide hole for threading.
Being all handmade, and of course from all natural material, they all look slightly different, with sizes varying between 15-17 millimeters high and 15-17 millimeters diameter. These beads have quite some years of age to them already and have gained a nice rustique look and smooth feel over time.
This set consists of 11 beads. Only one set available.
