Description

  • Lovely elbow bead with classic cased concentric circles of amber, red, white and blue glass, repeating with more layers of amber, red, white and blue 43x12mm
  • To me these will always be the fundamental colors of African trade beads, mixed and matched in innumerable ways. 
  • And as you can see on this bead, even the same design, cut form the same cane can look different depending how the pressure was applied when it was pressed into the bead. I never tire of looking at them
  • Made in Venice, Italy for the African trade, early to mid-1800sa
