Wonderful carved oval melon shaped wooden beads. These beads are hand-carved and finished with a semi-gloss finish mahogany finish. Since there are created by hand and not a machine, there may be very slight variation in bead size and some beads may contain small pieces of leftover wood pits in the bead hole that can easily be pushed out with an awl or file. Made in China. Sold in approx. 16 inch strands.
