Description
- These beads are priced and sold by the set of 4 beads
- Vintage, or possibly antique, clear glass and "milk" or "moon" opalescent glass beads. Two sets of "twin" annular (Dogon Donut style) fused together, one in clear glass and on in opalescent moon glass. A single clear Dogon Donut and a large clear bead of the same type as the more typical large, round blue dogon beads
- These are widely believed to be of Dutch origin dating from as early as the 1700 century, but research is ongoing and I admit to not being up to date on the latest.
- In any case they are "non-Venetian" trade beads that had an important part in the African trade
