Original Message: More cultural amber- different culture |
---|
Here's my collection of what I now understand should be called "cultural" amber. They all came from the Bedouin in Beersheva Israel. Perhaps they came up through the Sinai from Egypt and thus fall into the category of "African". Materials include copal, bone and I guess phenolic resin. You can almost "see" the hands that worked the material with primitive tools. Don't you love them?
