In 1996, I composed the book Magical Ancient Beads for a Swiss collector named Ulrich Beck. He likewise had a considerable collection of ancient beads, many of which came from Afghanistan. However, he collected most of his beads personally, while traveling abroad. If you read the text, related to the seals, you may note that I do not come out and say "they are all fakes." However, my opinion is that many or most of the seal beads were, in fact, fakes. But it was not my job to say so. I was hired to describe.... Here's a group shot, from which we'll see individual specimens next. JDA. All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users |
