Click photo for enlargement.
These 20 ceramic beads were hand-made and hand-painted by expert Peruvian crafts people. The three bands suggest the Rastafarian colors of green, gold and red. The peace sign design is painted on both sides, alternating with an asterisk-like Andean sun symbol.
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 slighly flattened off spherical, 12 mm in diameter and 10 mm tall., with 3 mm holes.
