These nice owl beads were handmade by Peruvian crafts people. Molds were used to shape the clay, which was fired, painted a solid green and glazed, then fired again for a true ceramic hardness.
The beads are about 19 mm tall, 10 mm across the front, 12 mm front to back. The holes are about 2 mm in diameter. They run vertically, from the head to the base. |
