African Clay Lattice Teardrop Bead 22-23mm

Add an earthy, artistic flair to your designs with these teardrop clay spindle whorl beads. Each one is hand-shaped and etched with lattice patterns, giving them a warm, organic look. Historically, spindle whorls were used in weaving—placed on spindles to help spin thread. Over time, worn or repurposed whorls were reimagined as beads, used in ceremonial jewelry, trade, and as symbols of status across many African cultures.
