Original Message:   That's what I initially saw, and wondered if this was an ancient or "older" wound bead
I don't know much about beads outside the European trade bead era, but I wondered if this was an ancient stratified eye bead or a very small Hebron. I don't see any evidence of the granular structure of most powder glass beads. BTW it was found on a mixed strand of African trade beads.
