Presumably bamboo refers to the shape which is identical to bamboo beads. The Muii Salah part makes me cringe and wish I had nothing to do with Indonesian beads. However they are actually very appealing and interesting from a technical point of view. They came to me as part of a collection and I'm passing them along with as much accurate info as I can find.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLet's correct the gross errors first. Mutisalah is another name for Indo-Pacific beads which look nothing like these. (See: GLA-37 for a classic example)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs for the technique, the core of these beads seems to be black glass which is wrapped in a thin sheet of mustard or pumpkin colored glass, which leaves a black line when it doesn't quite meet. These are also drawn beads and rather perfect in size, which takes both a large kiln to melt a large amount of glass, considerable space to draw out the cane and a lot of skill to manage the size. I was not aware that this type or work was being done in Indonesia, but apparently it was OR maybe the \"Indonesia\" part of the name on the tag was also wrong. No way to find out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'm selling them at their original wholesale cost so you are getting a bargain if you like them. I do and saved some for myself. I just wish people wouldn't make up misleading names when they don't know anything about beads!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Beadazzled.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52572278030645,"sku":"ASF-324","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0269\/4388\/1301\/files\/ASG-324a.jpg?v=1776256795","url":"https:\/\/www.beadazzled.com\/products\/indonesia-pumpkin-mustard-color-cylinder-beads-4-5mm-diameter-7-12mm-long-15-inch-strand","provider":"Beadazzled.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
