Original Message:   "Gabri" beads from Afghanistan? What are these?

All of the Afghans call these beads "Gabri". When I look up gabri on the internet it just says it is another name for the Dari languange, or a region in south Iran. According to the folks here at Bagram, Gabri beads are found in an area where you go west out of Kabul, then turn south and veer back east (around mountains). They think Gabri are about 700 yr old excavated Islamic beads. But they also call all eye beads "Gabri". Any help? Copyright 2024 All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users
