    Description

    Awesome strand of Antique African trade beads!
    Everything from chevrons, a beautiful large blue
    A-Speo, many Venetian Striped Brick Reds, to African Blue Dogon beads. Every single bead on this strand is authentic and old. Absolutely no reproductions on this strand of beads.
    43 beads in total, they look to be strung on cotton.
    I believe the middle stone bead to be a large Mauritanian stone bead from NorthWest Africa. The beads on each side of the center stone bead are definitely Mauritanian carved Conus Shell Hair Adornment Beads.
    All beads are as they were found, and haven’t been cleaned. That will be left up to the buyer if they want to do that themselves.
    The strand of beads will come with the front hinged display case.( 21” x 17” x 1.5” )
    Everything will be packed extra secure, with the strand of beads being in a separate package from the display case so the glass doesn’t get broken, and the beads stay safe.
    This antique Item is being sold AS IS. These are very old antique African trade beads, that have traveled multiple continents. Due to the age, and no doubt being found in the ground somewhere, some of the beads are chipped. None of the beads are broken and then repaired.
