Manik-Manik di Indonesia (Beads in Indonesia) by Ardhyatman and Arifin, , 2nd ed, 1996. This book is about beads found in Indonesia, regardless of origin. Pages 96-97 especially show the kinds of beads on my string, referred to as Venetian lamp beads, but mixed with Chinese. And through pp. 107 there are other Venetian types, including more familiar ones such as king and millefiori, found at various places in Indonesia. I know this does not prove anything, but just from knowing of the long colonial history of Indonesia, we should assume European beads went there. Does anyone know of a book or website (or factory advertising?) about Indonesian-made beads that would look like Venetian lamp-wound types? Aside from issues about this string, it is worthwhile to gather pictures and samples of beads made elsewhere that look too-much like old Venetian products. One of my favorite links on that issue is:
