Click photo for enlargement.
These 20 ceramic beads were hand-made by expert Peruvian crafts people. The clay was shaped and fired, hand-printed from a hand-painted balloon design using the serigraphic silkscreen method, glazed and fired a second time for a true ceramic hardness. Both sides are printed the same.
Because they are hand-made, there are slight variations in the sizes of the beads. They are about 14 mm in diameter and 9 mm thick, with 3 mm holes. The holes run horizontally in relation to the design.
