These 20 llama-shaped beads were handmade by Peruvian artesanos from "alpaca silver," an alloy of nickel, copper, and zinc. They will not tarnish like silver.
The beads are 11 mm tall, 3 mm across the front, 8 mm front to back. The holes are about 1 mm in diameter. They run horizontally through the llamas' bodies.
