10 g Handcut Peruvian 05-06 mm NATURAL BAMBOO BEADS, W21
Click photo for enlargement.
This 10 gram lot contains about 650 natural Amazonian bamboo beads from Peru, hand-cut by Peruvian crafts people. The ends are lighly burned, producing a nice contrast with the light brown wood. Because they are fashioned from segments of bamboo stalks, there are variations in the lengths and diameters of the beads. They are 5-6 mm long and 3 mm in diameter. The holes are not drilled but rather natural to the bamboo, and if closed can be opened easily by driving wire through them.
