African Mud beads or Batik bone beads are products of Ghanian and Kenyan tribe’s people with a process dating back to 4th century BC Egypt. It was originally a means to apply patterns to cloth and was adopted by African tribes to apply to beads often symbolic of higher social status. Batik bone beads are made from the bones of cows or camels. They are bleached using a simple dye and heat a process then, exceptional craftsmen would create the design during the wax-resistance process, painting on swirl or circular motifs with clear beeswax and coated with a lacquer finish.
