Brass Metal Beads Nigeria
Description
A beautiful strand of handcrafted brass beads from Nigeria, featuring a mix of rounded, tubular, and slightly textured forms. Each bead shows natural variation in shape and surface, with a warm golden-brown patina developed through age and handling. The irregularities and hand-finished character highlight traditional metalworking techniques. A strong, versatile strand that works well worn, layered with other African trade beads, or displayed as a collectible example of West African brass beadwork.

This strand is not intended to be a ready-to-wear necklace. Although the strand can be worn "as is," the string holding it together is not durable and may break with use. For this reason, we recommend that you restring the beads before wearing them.
