This is a 1-ounce lot of bamboo beads hand-cut by Peruvian crafts people. There are about 600 beads in the lot, though since it is sold by weight rather than count, there may be more or fewer than this.

There are six different styles in lengths from 5 to 23 mm, cut along the natural segments of the bamboo stalks. The diameters range from 3 to 5 mm. The holes of all are small, 1-2 mm in diameter. The holes are natural to the bamboo and if closed can easily be opened by driving wire through them.

The colors vary from blond to a rich brown. The blonder beads are lightly burned on the ends, adding a nice contrast.
