- Very rare, beautifully graduated strand yellow Indo-Pacific beads from Indonesia.
- The beads range in size from 1-6mm on 24-inch strand. Beads in perfect condition. Collected in Dempesar, Indonesia in 1992
- The Indo-Pacific family of beads originated in Arikamedu in Southern India around 400 BC and quickly spread in all directions. Over the next few hundred years, they reached all over Southeast-Asia, throughout the Middle East, North Africa, and all the to Scandinavia in Europe, becoming the "greatest little trade bead of all time" according to bead researcher Pete Francis.
- They come in other colors, often aqua and blue from north Africa. Yellow and green are more rare.
