This 10 gram lot contains about 100 natural Amazonian bamboo beads from Peru, hand-cut by Peruvian crafts people. The ends are lighly burned, producing a nice contrast with the light brown wood. Because they are fashioned from segments of bamboo stalks, there are variations in the lengths and diameters of the beads. They are 20 mm long and 4 mm in diameter. The holes are not drilled but rather natural to the bamboo, and if closed can be opened easily by driving wire through them. |
