Colar de contas de pasta de vidro. Produzidas com vidro reaproveitado e moído pelo grupo Krobo. O pó de vidro colocado em moldes para ser aquecido até que derreta e depois condense.
In Ghana, Krobo artisans grind recycled glass (from old bottles, jars) to a fine powder. The powder is formed in a kaolin-covered clay mold which uses a cassava leaf stem to make the center hole. The beads are then fired in an oven and as the glass hardens, the cassava leaf burns up. After theyÕre cooled, the beads are often decorated with dyes or paints before being washed, then strung thru the void left by the burned cassava.
