What Are Bone Beads?
Bone beads are made by skilled artisans in Kenya using recycled cow bones, which are cleaned, cut, shaped, and polished by hand. Many beads are decorated using the ancient batik method — hot wax is applied in patterns before dyeing, creating beautiful resist-dye motifs that reflect African heritage. These sustainable, eco-conscious beads carry a rich cultural significance.
In Africa, trade beads like these have long been used for commerce, social status, and ceremonial purposes. Over centuries, they’ve come to represent both artistic expression and historical trade routes that shaped African communities. TribalGH is proud to support this tradition by bringing these genuine handmade African bone beads to a global audience.
