Wood was cut into the required dimensions as blocks, after which the joints were carved out. Prayer beads were turned on a lathe. [14] The woodcutters carved a single block of boxwood into a sphere, cut it in half, hollowed it out, and attached a fastening hinge and carrying loops.
Beads were made from hand-ground and filed turquoise, coral, and shell. Carved wood, animal bones, claws, and teeth were made into beads, which were then sewn onto clothing, or strung into necklaces. [6] [7] Turquoise is one of the dominant materials of Southwestern Native American jewelry.
Jet is a product of decomposition of wood from millions of years ago, commonly the wood of trees of the family Araucariaceae. [5] Jet is found in two forms, hard and soft. [5] Hard jet is the result of carbon compression and salt water; soft jet may be the result of carbon compression and fresh water. [5]
J. P. Morgan donated the bead to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1917. The Cloisters bead consists of two surviving capsules, each consisting of a series of minutely detailed carvings on both sides. Latin inscriptions, some in Gothic script, frame the work. The upper capsule has two wings, which when opened form a triptych. [3]
The Huichol have a long history of beading, making the beads from clay, shells, corals, seeds and more and using them to make jewelry and to decorate bowls and other items. The "modern" beadwork usually consists of masks and wood sculptures covered in small, brightly colored commercial beads fastened with wax and resin.
A number contain a wooden loop in the middle of one half so they could be worn hanging from a belt or carried in a case. [3] [25] A fragrant substance was sometimes placed inside the shell, which diffused when the beads were opened, making them comparable to the then fashionable pomanders. [24]
