I’d like to thank Floor for her invitation to BCN members to visit the fair at Duif and for organizing the pleasant lunch with a lot of interesting beads travelling around the table. As we have seen in the pictures posted last Monday by many members, there were a lot of very nice beads in the fair. I was very satisfied as I could find a few item of the kind I was looking for, difficult to find in Italy, at a very good price. I was expecially looking for beaded object to show in a couple of exhibit we are organizing for next year.
In the first picture is a bag of fabric adorned with seeds of Coix lacrima_jobi (Job’s tears), coins and metallic copels. I was told it is from Hani people of Yunnan, without specification about which Hani subgroup.
