  • Set of 9 unusual wound black beads with white eyes, 8x13mm to 10x12mm
  • The two other sets I posted are in outstanding condition, this one has a few eyes missing so it's prices lower. All beads are usable
  • Only one set available at this price
  • These are fascinating beads. Initially you might think they are molded with applied white eyes, but the variations in size and shape make me think these are wound coils, with the center section flattened before applying the eyes
  • Made in Venice late-1800s to early 1900s for the African trade
