FLUTTER!! CARVED Butterfly and Rose BONE Bead!
This is for TWO hand carved BUTTERFLY and ROSE Bone Bead. This charming bead is hand carved with a BUTTERFLY on one side and a ROSE on the other (see images above and below).
The material comes from domestic cow or buffalo bone; both are used as draft animals (for example, to plow muddy rice paddies) and are consumed as food. They are highly valued and are not dispatched only for their horns or bones; these have an incredibly small value compared with that of a living animal. Water buffalo and Ox bone are obtained after death, and since the cultures from which they are attained believe in utilizing the whole animal, nothing goes to waste, and thus the animal is honored more fully.
NOTE: Images do not reflect number and size. Please see detail and table for information.
Quantity: 2 beads
Material Type: Bone (Domestic Water Buffalo - Bubalus bubalis)
Size: 20x8.5mm
Color: Tan
Legend: What a charming accent bead!
Origin: China
