Blue and White Excavated Ancient Glass Medium Sized Nila Beads, Mali - Rita Okrent Collection - AT0632

Blue and White Excavated Ancient Glass Medium Sized Nila Beads, Mali.

Strands measure approximately 25". Bead sizes range from 7-14mm in diameter depending on strand, so please let me know what size beads you need. 3 similar strands available.

The colors of these wonderful beads come out when treated with a tiny bit of olive oil (rub a little on your hands and then handle the beads). It brings out all their blues!

Also referred to as Dardig beads.

Made along the river Niger. Excavated in Mali.


600-1000 years old.
