Caged butterfly 1 pound/ 1.25 Euros/ US$2


This bead is carved from fishbone. It has 2 holes through it, 1 running through the bar/line at the top (above the butterfly) and 1 running through the bar/line at the bottom.

It is a very unique, very lovely bead. The colour is a light yellow, ivory shade. I bought a bracelet made from these beads from this lil old shop - they only had 1 or 2 of the bracelets (with this particular bead. Other carved fishbone beads will be available soon- also fm this same shop :)- in fact i think it might be a vintage bead but am not sure. Moral of the story is, doubt you'll find this elsewhere :)
