Mixed Strand of Ancient Beads, Mali ojime Each strand is different26" strand of ancient mixed stone beads including quartz, granite, amazonite and agate, from Djenne, Mali. Dated between 1 2,000 years old, these beads are so special and sacred. Graduated strand, 7mm 16mm diameter. Interesting mix of shapes, including 3 conical two hole bead shapes, probably hair ornaments! Center bead is an ancient clam shell bead, a few antique ancient glass beads sprinkled in. Very nice.
