DVH Big Horn Human Skull Devil Krampus Ceramic Bead Custom OOAK OCF 83x65x40mm
This is an extraordinary and rare ceramic bead—truly a sculptural masterpiece by Seattle artist John “Beau” Bond, purchased by me at the Oregon Country Fair in the mid-1990s. It’s signed JBBOND and dated 10/91, and features incredible hand-sculpted detail: a snarling human skull crowned with dramatic ram’s horns, hand carved and cast in ceramic porcelain with a weathered, bone-like patina glaze. It’s got Krampus energy, gothic flair, and folklore charisma all wrapped into one hauntingly beautiful talisman.
More than just a bead, this is a statement piece of outsider art—bold, visceral, and unforgettable. I’ve held onto it in my personal collection for over 30 years, and it wasn’t cheap when I bought it back then. Pieces like this don’t come around often, and I’ve never seen another like it. Whether you're into dark mythologies, rare folk ceramics, or OCF ephemera, this is a one-of-a-kind relic of countercultural magic. Ready to be strung with complimentary beads to make an incredible statement necklace.
Time to pass it on. May it bring you power, protection, and the strength of ancestor wild horned spirits.
