Mixed Recycled Glass Krobo Bead Bracelet

A beautiful strand of powder glass African beads made by the people of Krobo Mountain in Ghana, West Africa. Many designs of Krobo beads are patterned to resemble old Venetian FANCY trade beads. Made from bottles and other glass items turned into powder, then poured into molds to create these elbow-shaped beads. Decorations on the beads are made with a paste of colored glass powder and water, which is applied by hand using a thin wooden stalk. The beads are cooked a second time to fix the decor. Each bead is unique. Strand may vary from the picture.
