Description

  • Tabular "end-of-day" or "crumb" bead 23x27mm
  • The black core is covered with brick and white crumbs of end-of-day murrine chips with 4 green and red mosaic cane slices
  • Somewhat to my surprise these and other crumb beads have become quite popular, being seen as a form of contemporary-looking abstract art
  • Made in Venice, Italy for the African trade, early 1800s
