Large Rondelle cut bone beads with inlaid wooden core.
Handmade in Kenya.
Hand-carved from cow bone, dyed in a method known as batik - a wax relief process. Wax is applied to each bead by hand and then dyed, so each bead is uniquely patterned.
Because these are handmade, there are slight irregularities in their sizes, carving shapes and wood plugs in the middle.
