These 20 high-quality ceramic beads were hand-made and hand-painted by talented Peruvian crafts people. The clay was shaped and fired, painted and glazed, then fired agan, for a true ceramic hardness.
The rectangle form is unusual for Peruvian ceramic beads. The bead incorporates two designs, on alternate sides of the bead.
Because they are handmade, there are slight variations in the sizes of the beads and in the sizes and positions of the holes. In general, each is about 18 mm tall and 8 mm on a sided with 3 mm holes.
