This is for a 16" temporarily strung strand of amazing carved Bone Beads.
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 horn and 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.
These are Genuine hand carved bone beads !
NOTE: Images do not reflect number and size. Please see detail and table for information.
Quantity: 26 beads
Material Type: Bone (Domestic Waterbuffalo - Bos indicus)
Size: 24x12x7mm
Color: Tan
Legend: The Lotus often symbolized enlightenment!
Origin: China
