Original Message: More of Tucson 2009 - insisted they were from Burma or Thai! |

Here are a few nice typical Jatim. The seller (a Thai woman) at JOGS insisted they were from Thailand or maybe Burma. I didn't argue beyond suggesting they were from Java in Indonesia. She didn't try to claim they were ancient but was sure of their origin. The prices were relatively reasonable. I know of several people who buy these beads in Bali or Java and sell them to vendors at Bangkok's Jatujak Market with various stories. The larger are about 35x38mm All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users |
