Description

  • These beads are priced and sold individually
  • These are BIG elbows, probably among the biggest I've ever seen at 52x15mm
  • I also really like the way the rather simple murrine have been "feathered" by drawing a pin through the glass while it was still semi-molten
  • Despite the fast that most of the other beads on the strand this came from were broken, these are in perfect condition
  • Made in Venice, Italy for the African trade, during the 1800s
