Click photo for enlargement.
These 20 ceramic disk beads were handmade by expert Peruvian crafts people. They were hand-printed from a hand-painted design using the serigraphic silkscreen method. Both sides are printed the same. They depict a blue half moon cradling a yellow sun.
Because they are handmade, there are slight variations in the sizes of the beads and the sizes and positions of the holes. They are about 11 mm in diameter and 5 mm thick, with 2 mm holes. The holes run horizontally in relation to the design.
