Description
- Strand of 46 rare antique Venetian lampworked mini king beads
- These cute small bicones, mostly about 10x10mm resemble the larger king beads favored by West African chiefs and their families during the 1800s at the height of the Venetian/African bead trade
- Whereas the large ones usually adorn statement necklaces, these minis are perfect for earrings. Size and shapes vary slightly due to their handmade nature.
- Made in Venice, Italy, mid to late 1800s for the African trade
- Only one strand available but you can sometimes find individual beads in the Sets and Eaches sub-section of our African Beads Collection
