A beautiful strand of 48 natural Clay Spindle beads from Mali strung on raffia. These beads have a rough earthy feel with geometric designs. There are 22 large bicone beads that vary from 30 - 33 mm and 26 round beads about 19 to 22 mm. The beads are handmade and will vary in shape, patterns and colour. The string you receive is the one in the photo. My affection for these beads dates back to when I first heard that these 'Spindles' actually evolved into the beads they are today because of our avid collectioner's heart (all Beaders have one of those!) Originally these Spindles were actually made to spin cotton but then people started collecting them because they were so beautiful. They became rare .. so some enterprising people started making new ones but more as the beads they are today... They are so beautiful and evoke the country, Africa just by handling them and by the fact that they are made from Africa's earth. -
A gorgeous Traditional Smock .... with a modern twist! Hand made with hand stiching with beautiful Ghanaian batik fabric in patchwork pattern. Funky Frog is selling this traditional Smock for a favourite Trader, Ibrahim. All money will go directly to him. He asks $200 US for this magnificent piece of art. "The African Fugu Batakari jacket or smock is perhaps the most distinctive traditional garment from West Africa. Although this type of smock is most popular in Northern Ghana, it has gained acceptance and significance throughout the nation. The Fugu was introduced in Ghana by the Moshies from Burkino Faso and by the Hausas from northern Nigeria, both of whom migrated into Northern Ghana. The name Fugu comes from the Moshie word for cloth. The Dagombas call the garment Bingba, and in the south they call it Batakari. These smocks represent a powerful heritage." -
