Hi,

I found these awesome beads today at a market. I am positive that they have been re strung as the threading material doesn't seem right for the age of the beads, also there are two very modern wooden beads in there that don't look right either. My first thoughts were perhaps moroccan or north african. Any help would be gratefully received.

Are the amber- colored rounds made of glass?

In my opinion, these appear to be Krobo powderglass (made in Ghana) of varying styles...,

10 - 20 years old. The smaller ones at the back may be as old as the 1970s.

Except for the metal caps flanking the 5 big central beads, and the very spherical beads (those are the wood?) on the outside of them. I can't tell anything about those.

Oops, I just discovered that you had similar responses from your identical post!
