Vintage Indian brass beads decorated with dots 19x5mm on 31-inch Strand
Handmade in India, only one available
It looks to me like these were cast, possibly by lost wax method and subsequently machine drilled. If so these could be the pre-cursors of the latest Indian bead-making venture: brass beads.
They are made with a combination of hand and machine assisted techniques in small workshops and I find them a nice addition to the world of beads. Many styles recently uploaded. Find them all in the Brass & Copper sub-section of the Metal Beads Collection. Enjoy!
