San Bushman Earrings

San Bushman Ostrich Egg Shell & Porcupine Quill Earrings

Made by the Tsodilo Hills San clan in northern Botswana.

Each bead is entirely made by hand. The broken bits of ostrich egg shells are shaped and drilled without using any power tools. The colored disks are dyed with local natural plant dyes. 

These little earrings are approximately 1 1/2" long and 1/4" wide.
