Bead ID, please. African or European Origin?
I have got two of those rough opak brownish red beads. One 10 years ago. The dealer told me, it might be Dutch, time approximately from 1850 to Second WW. The second, with the >> << Pattern, I bought last week from a shop, whose owner had it from a Nigerian. I haven't found them in literature yet. Does anyone of you readers know, from where there are and when they are made?
(If I had to guess, I would say African production, powder glass 1900 ¡V 1970). Thanks for your answers and thanks to Joyce and David for their help with registration ƒº. renaid
