These ten ceramic skull beads were hand-made and hand-painted by expert Peruvian crafts people. The eye sockets are hollowed out and they, the nostrils and teeth are painted white, stark against the black skulls.
Because they are hand-made, there are slight variations in the sizes of the beads, the sizes and positions of the holes, and the decoration. They are about 16 mm tall, 13 mm across the front, 15 mm front to back. The holes are about 2 mm in diameter. They run horizontally through the skulls.
