Animal Head Large-Hole Beads: Wolf, Lion, Leopard, Fox, Owl in Three Finishes

These are cast metal beads shaped as animal heads, drilled through so they string like a bead rather than hang like a charm. Each face is modeled in relief, with fur lines, whiskers and open eyes picked out, and the antique finishes leave the deep lines darker than the raised surfaces.
