What Are Bone Beads?
Bone beads have a rich history in African culture, especially in Kenya where artisans handcraft them using animal bones—primarily from cows. The bones are cleaned, shaped, and polished before batik designs are applied using wax-resist techniques. The result is a durable and stylish bead with a tribal aesthetic.
These Kenya bone beads are part of the broader tradition of African trade beads, which have been used for centuries not just as decorative pieces, but as a form of currency, cultural exchange, and storytelling. Today, they continue to celebrate African heritage while supporting local craftsmanship.
