Hi McBead, I'd like to see a larger photo, but to me these look like new reproduction beads from Java. I have a similar strand, though of all beads of one type. They copy Islamic Period combed beads. However, it would be very unusual to see a whole group of ancient beads that would be so similar in style, color scheme, and condition. While I see some variation in combing pattern, The beads are all more alike than different. I would expect a group of ancient beads to vary more in terms of art, size and shape, and especially condition. Cheers, Jamey All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users |
