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 yin/yang 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 slightly flattened off spherical, about 12 mm tall and 10 mm in diameter, with 3 mm holes. The holes run vertically in relation to the design.
