Description
- Antique Venetian Millefiori trade bead 28x11mm
- Original bundled cane method that was also used by Egyptians, Etruscans and Romans. Venetians started with this method and move on to cased canes.
- This pattern stands out the mixing for two murrine patterns in one bead - rare in bundled cane beads. A classic flower design is mixed with and black and amber pattern - maybe representing the beads among the flowers? Sorry, I must be getting tired or writing 100 bead descriptions in 2 days!
- Made in Venice, Italy for the African trade 1700s through early 1800s
