Flat discs of water buffalo bone stack face to face along this Legend of Asia strand, forming a ribbed pale column with real presence on a table. Each disc is cut, sanded, drilled and polished by hand in Nigeria, so diameter and thickness vary slightly and the finished bead strand has the uneven rhythm that identifies genuine african beads. The bone beads are left with a soft natural sheen rather than heavy lacquer, showing grain and gentle shifts from cream to warm ivory. Generously long, these disk beads coil into a bowl, double over a hook, or lie full length as shelf decor. Use the white beads as bowl filler on a coffee table or drape them across a tray. Indoor display is best. Warm, textural decorative beads for tribal decor and collected home decor.
