- Priced and sold individually
- These magnificent beads display a wide range of metalworking techniques
- 22mm wide on the wide side vs 17mm on the narrow side, diameter 29mm
- In repousse work the design is pushed forward from the back. It has been practiced at a high level in Nepal since the 7th Century by certain Buddhist groups traditionally trained as metalworkers for spiritual as well as secular art and craft.
- The design is further defined with engraving and a band of inlaid turquoise chips decorates the edges.
- As seen in the photo the beads are shaped so that when used together they form a gentle curve, one side being narrower than the other.
- Of course you can also use just one as an eye-catching focal
