These 20 ceramic beads were hand-crafted and hand-painted by expert Peruvian crafts people to resemble No. 8 billiard balls. They clay was shaped and fired, painted and glazed, then fired a second time for a true ceramic hardness.
Because they are handmade, there are slight variations in the sizes of the beads and in the sizes and positions of the holes. They are slightly flattened off spherical, about 12 mm in diameter and 10 mm tall, with 3 mm holes that run vertically in relation to the 8.
