  • These pendants are priced and sold by the set of 3
  • Antique Holari (aka Haulare) molded clear glass pendants, submarine shaped, similar to Islamic cartouche pendants. 25x15mm
  • Made in Bohemia (now Czech Republic) for the African trade between 1850s and 1900
  • They were a great favorite of Fulani women, who wore them singly or in groups of 2 or 3 on necklaces and sometimes also in their hair. 
  • Most Holari beads seem to have a matte or semi-matte finish, whether they were made this way or if it's the result of age and weathering in a desert environment, I don't know.
