Banana Seed Mala Beads from Bali giftset002 I just bought a collectionAll natural banana seeds sustainably harvested in Bali. A traditional design first sourced from the legendary Lou Zeldis. After Lou died we lost touch with the artisans who make these malas out of Banana seed pods. We searched exhaustively throughout Indonesia until we found the traditional artist who makes these beads and hand strings them. 108 14 by 9mm beads.
