30x14mm Barrel w. 2 Lines & Arcs (10) - Grey - Vintage Clay Beads

These beads seem to be made from a terracotta clay, and then painted, with their markings painted white as the adornment.  Kind of beautiful in their imperfection.

These unusual beads have 2 solid lines around each end, and a circle with arcs radiating from the circle on either side.  Beads weigh about 5 grams each.

These clay beads are very old stock from a warehouse clearance lot, that we scooped up years ago.  You won't find beads in many places that are like these!  Truly unique handmade beads!  These beads were made individually by hand in Ghana, Africa a long time ago.

These beads are from a collection of bisque fired (no glaze) terracotta/clay/ceramic.  There are a lot of definitions of the way these beads are made, and if you are interested, have a google about them and gather information.  They are amazing beads to find out about!

We can't be certain of their exact information, rather we are giving suggestions of what these beads are, and where they are from, how they are made etc, from information gathered from our general observations over the last many years in the bead trade.

We will attempt to give you beads that all look similar for each pack that you buy.
