Description
- An interesting mix of end of day crumb stripes alternating with rare red glass
- These are thicker than most "slices" at 12x15mm
- These short segments are sometimes called "slices" and may have been intentionally cut on an angle so they can be strung as bracelets. In Cote d'Ivoire and further north, trade beads were typically strung in necklace length stands. But in some parts of Ghana, and Sudan among others, they were strung and sold as bracelets.
- Made in Venice, Italy mid-1800s to early 1900s for the African trade
