These 20 ceramic beads were hand-made and hand-painted by expert Peruvian crafts people. Llamas and women with drop spindles are painted against three bands suggest the Rastafarian colors of green, gold and red.

The clay was shaped and fired, painted and glazed, then fired a second time, for a true ceramic hardness. Because they are hand-made, there are slight variations in the sizes of the beads. They are round but slightly flattened off spherical, about 12 mm tall and 10 mm in diameter, with 3 mm holes. The holes run vertically in relation to the design.
