Traditional and recycled-glass beads from across West Africa. Krobo beads from Ghana, made by hand-painting recycled glass and firing it in clay molds. Brass beads from Ghana, Ethiopia, and Nigeria, hand-cast in traditional shapes. Cow bone beads from Kenya, naturally bleached. Agate from Nigeria. White heart trade beads, Fulani Messiah beads, and Christmas trade beads with stories that go back generations. Every bead is hand-finished, so size and shape vary slightly. That variation is what makes them real.
