I have to say I am speechless at the display - the intensity and sheer weight of all that decoration. While I am skeptical that it all is antique, I am still very impressed by the visuals and just enjoyed seeing some videos.

The huge peachy coral beads are probably not very old, but I believe are genuine. I've seen kilos and kilos of these peachy coral beads with our African trader friends - and their best customers for coral for years were Tibetans here in the U.S.
