Twelve Beautiful Geisha

A baker's dozen of lovely geisha go about their daily life.

The images are from 18th Century Japanese woodblock prints and are bordered top and bottom with patterns from chiyogami paper.

The completed images are transferred onto a central bamboo tile. Tube beads, hand-rolled from metallic paper, are added to the top and bottom.

Your piece is wired with complementary colored wire and a little bead dangle is added for movement.

Handsigned by the artist on the natural bamboo back.

The piece is triple-lacquered with UV resistant lacquer for moisture resistance and durability.

Strung on a black cotton cord, the pendants come with your choice of an adjustable-length sliding bead clasp or a 17" length with sterling clasp. Pins have a simple safety clasp.
