These ceramic tennis ball beads were hand-crafted and hand-painted by expert Peruvian crafts people. The clay was shaped and fired, painted a dull yellow 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 the size and position of the holes. They are roughly spherical, about 10mm in diameter and 9mm tall, with 2mm holes. |
