50 African Trade Kenya Bone Beads. Batik Dot Tribal Bone Beads. AB-5

African Batik bone beads with a polka dot pattern. Made in Kenya, these bone beads are a wonderful example of African artisans recycling local bone into something beautiful. The artisans collect the bones - cook out the marrow - Carve the bone into beads - apply wax where they don't want the dye to take - clean up the beads and make the wooden plugs. We love these in stretchy bracelets, they pair great with other bone and metal beads for that globetrotter look loved by both men and women! 50 beads 21" long 9mm diameter on average 9-12mm hole to hole 2mm hole
