Click photo for enlargement.
These 10 ceramic beads were hand-made and hand-painted by expert Peruvian crafts people. The puffed coin or lentil shape is a new one for Peruvian ceramic beads. The painters describe themselves as artists, and with justification. They depict a sun on one side and a moon and star on the other.
Because they are handmade, there are variations in the sizes of the beads and in the sizes and positions of the holes. However, all are about 18 x 15 x 10 mm, with 2 mm holes. The holes run horizontally in relation to the design.
