I have seen both of these strands!! I know the original owner! I know that he was looking for buyers! I do not believe for one minute that these strands originated in Mali !!!! Unless, there were identical strands flotting around, around the same time, these are indeed the beads that I have held in my hand and had the opportunity to purchase! ( No, I could never buy these!)! If, they were less expensive than you would have imagined, there is an completely logical reason why. The reason is certainly not because they were found in Mali! The assumption that beads are less expensive in Mali is just an assumption that is not based on fact! Beads are not less expensive in Mali than Mauritania. Thats why you can even buy Kiffa in Mali. For those who believe that you can get a better deal on beads in Mali than Mauritania, should go there to see for theirselves! They will be very disapointed!
