Hi, Some of these resemble newer glass beads from Java. I don't know of any drilled glass beads from Africa that look like this. I can see the bead top left drilled from opposing ends, not quite meeting in the middle. There are recycled bottle glass beads that were made in Nigeria that were drilled, and sometimes you can tell they were made from pieces of the bottom of the bottle.Those are the only drilled recycled glass beads made in Africa that I can think of. © Copyright 2019
