Handpainted Inner-painting Bamboo Glass Bead Chinese Hair Stick

$45.00

This breathtaking Chinese hair stick is made of luxurious African blackwood and features an unique handmade glass bead handpainted with bamboo using a special traditional Chinese technique called "inner-painting". This difficult technique is famously used for Chinese snuff bottles and involves painting on the inside of the glass using a special angled brush. As you can see from the photos, both sides of the bead are subtly different.
