Description
- Extra long strand of extra large "Dutch Dogon" beads, mostly cobalt blue 20-22mm but with 9 lighter, brighter blue beads finishing off the strand.
- These could have been made in the Netherlands or Germany between 1700 and 1800. For some reason they became favorites of the Dogon people in Mali
- These are actually larger and more opaque than standard blue Dutch Dogon beads and could be related the the large turquoise color Padre beads (See AFT-227) of which the smaller size became very popular in the American southwest, while the larger beads remain very desirable in SE Asia, the Philippines, China and even India.
