Type of Object:
    Sand Beads

    These hand made clay burial beads were excavated out in Mali.    
    Bead makers grind sand to make these beads.  The beads are
    fired at relatively low temperatures in clay molds.  The low
    temperature firing adds texture to the beads.

    Africans have made sand beads for centuries.
