Original Message:   Possibly New

Hello Hans, Recently, new beads have been coming out of this area (Morocco and Mauritania), made from stones that I assume are brought in from elsewhere (the market for decorative minerals now being international). We had some messages about this a while back. The shapes of these beads easily recall the well-known Tuareg silver beads that many African bead-sellers have in their inventories. I doubt your beads have any regional tradition otherwise—though they are handsome beads. Jamey Copyright 2024 All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users
