Brass Leaf Medallion Beads 25mm - Ghana (ME30)

These beads were made of ornate cast brass (with a little copper) and produced using the lost wax casting process - an amazing amount of work. Each bead measures approx 22-23mm x 25mm. There are approx 24 beads on the strand. They are strung on raffia. Please be aware that the casting process used to produce these beads dates back to the 7th century in Africa, therefore expect these beads to have somewhat of a crude character, a small dent or a missing section on a bead should be expected.
