First, not a bead but a small collectible, no provenance but we believe this puffin must have been made by an indigenous person from the north Pacific region...he's carved of bone, stands 95mm and weighs 2.5 ounces.

Next, a signed Haida argillite pendant, Earl Jones Raven '85. Measures 35mm x 40mm. A most interesting Wiki on argillite:

Next, an old Tuareg pendant, leather over metal, and modern lampwork...

The Tuareg pendant measures about 75mm x 87mm.

The lampwork bead measures about 18mm x 28mm. Would appreciate help with the artist, this one came to me with a small group of unrelated glass beads. Might this one be an early Leah Fairbanks?

Please join in on Sunday Show 'n Tell if you have a few minutes to spare today!

It seems that the recipe for the brick red color glass survived many centuries, as the color and texture match between the Islamic era beads and the Venetian beads is amazing (at least to me!).

Happy Mother's Day to all!
