This is a lot of 10 ceramic skull beads, hand-made and hand-painted by expert Peruvian crafts people. The eye sockets are hollowed out and they, the nostrils and teeth are painted black, stark against the white skulls. There are also lines that suggest the plates of the cranium.
Because they are handmade, 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, with 2 mm holes. The holes run horizontally through the skulls.
