• Skull beads made of bone are
produced in India and Nepal. These
regions utilize bones from various
animals like yak and water buffalo for
crafting beads and other items.
• These beads are hand turned, then
carved, dyed for the black, and then
polished, so there are some variations in
shape, size, depth of carving, as well as
variations in detail. So each is unique.
• They are made in three parts; a top,
bottom, and the face section. The eyes
are drilled through, so &#34;light&#34; can be
seen.
• As new, never used. In excellent
condition, no breaks or cracks. View
