Description

  • 4 Carnelian beads 13 to 20mm long and two shorter, narrower and darker beads, possibly red jasper
  • All have conical holes showing hand drilling from both ends
  • The Tairone who are also famous for their goldsmithing thrived from aobut 200 BC to 1600 AD when they began fighting the Spanish conquerors
  • The Ancient glass collection is becoming the Ancient Glass and Stone collection because it's easier to find ancient beads in this small collection than in the huge Gemstone Collection.
