Original Message:   Egyptian beads?

I found this string of "Egyptian" beads on Pinterest and followed them back to the collection at the Yale museum. They are not on display and Yale does give a disclaimer as to authenticity. I can't imagine these are Egyptian or Roman, except for a few at the top of the strand. The colors and surfaces just don't look right to me. Later Venetian beads made with frit, perhaps?
