サントドミンゴ族独特の製法で素材を円版状にカットし、一つ一つ丁寧に研磨したビーズの事。中心に穴を開け紐を通してネックレスやブレスレットを主に仕上げる。様々な素材を使って色鮮やかに仕上げた作品は大変美しい。 The material is cut like Enhan by a peculiar manufacturing method to the Santo Domingo family, and the thing of the bead politely ground one by one. The hole is finished up at the center and the necklace and the bracelet are finished up chiefly through the open string.
