CARVED Dragon Centerpiece BONE Bead! The black eye is actually a piece of Onyx!
This is for one hand carved Dragon centerpiece Bone bead. This charming bead is drilled at top of the head for easy stringing!
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.
NOTE: Your bead will be selected from those in the images.
Quantity: 1 bead
Material Type: Bone (Domestic Water Buffalo - Bubalus bubalis)
Size: 29x22x5mm
Color: Creamy Ivory Black
Legend: The dragon is also used as a symbol for the Chinese Emperor.
Origin: China
