What Are African Bone and Horn Beads?
African bone beads and horn beads are traditionally handmade from natural materials like cow bone and horn, which are byproducts of the food industry. In Ghana, artisans transform these materials into exquisite beads through cutting, shaping, polishing, and sometimes dyeing processes, using skills passed down through generations.
These beads have been part of Africa’s long history of trade and cultural expression. They were once used as currency and symbols of social status, and today they continue to connect artisans with the global market, supporting sustainable income and preserving craft traditions.
