Antique Faceted Purple and Clear Dutch Glass Beads from the 1700s, Mali - Rita Okrent Collection (ANT307s)

Spectacular strand of very old Dutch faceted glass beads. Discovered in Mali. 

Originally made in the Netherlands and traded to the Dogon tribe and other West African people in the 1700s.

Most of the beads on the strand are faceted, but have worn smooth over time. Several beads have calcification.  59 mixed purple or clear antique glass beads on this strand. 

Bead sizes and shapes vary. 9-19mm diameter range. A few really nice focal beads here and lots of great beads for designing.

Lovely amethyst purple hues.

You will receive the beads in the photos.
