Fred, Tokkeh is a wall climbing lizard. A friend of mine who travelled through Java in the 1980's collecting old beads, mentioned the beads were called Tokkeh by the Javanese people who were selling the beads. 20 years later I heard the same name from the Beadbrothers, who have a big collection of the old beads (and new repro's). Have a look on www.antique-beads-indonesia.com for the old ones. I agree with Will about the misnaming Majapahit to Jatim beads. Kajorboonsook, thank you for the better pictures, but I still hesitate to give an opinion about the age of the beads from photographs, sorry Copyright 2024 All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users
