One large, choice bead with a mix of two murrine patterns, 35x12mm
The distribution of two different cane slices on a single bead like this is quite rare and collectible. It's also interesting that the brown and white ones are cased while the center multi-color ones clearly show the uneven lines of earlier bundled cane murine making
A nice addition to a collection, or a centerpiece for a necklace.
All trade beads have holes big enough for 1-2mm leather cords
Made in Venice, Italy 1800s to early 1900s for the African trade
