"Islamic" period | |||||
Re: what do you think about this bead? -- kika | Post Reply | Edit | Forum | Where am I? |
I think it's a West Asian Islamic period bead - which fits with it having been excavated in Djenne. The pendant structure is slightly unusual, the trailed decoration is not. It's definitely not a core-formed Phoenician head pendant. I'll attach another from the same time period with a similar resemblance to a face - which quite a lot of eye beads show. Perhaps the resemblance was intentional, but I rather doubt it.
All the best,
Will
