Original Message:   Small "braided" glass beads??

I ordered several strands of Krobo beads from the Rita Okrent collection. These were newer than I thought, but still unusually nice for newer sandcast beads. When I took a closer look today, I found two very small...Venetian?? beads, one dotted (sort of like an end-of-day bead??) and a tiny combed bead (about 8mm wide, 5mm thick). But I also found two small black glass beads, same size, that were make out of tiny pieces of black glass, arranged to look like they are braided. Very cool! I've never seen anything like these. More handmades from Africa? Or something else?? Copyright 2024 All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users
