my first reaction was to say Dutch or German but I'm not sure, the picture is so large. Judy

Sorry Judy, you are right, those are big! Hopefully these are better.
The sharp hole tells me not ancient, but there is surface wear...

It still looks like a European bead traded in Africa, but I don't think it's Dutch. Definitely not ancient. Perhaps Stefany or Floor can help??

Small hole size is typical of Czech / Bohemian production.
