Description

  • 20-inch long strand of multicolor, especially detailed bangle fragments drilled to turn them into beads, no easy feat as the fragments are curved!
  • Many with raised multi-color eyes. Soft amber, brick, olive green and black glass.
  • This the nicest strand of this type that I've seen.  Only one available.
  • These were coming out of Afghanistan in the 1990s, but could have originated in India, Pakistan, Afghanistan or even further into Central Asia. 
  • Generally classified as Roman (1st to 4th century AD) or Islamic Era (7th to 12th century AD) glass.
