I bought this bead on the market, in Cameroun, on 2005/2006. I knew, it was not a real venetian antique chevron, but I had never seen a such bead: it is not like the fake beads which I saw from India, Java or China. Somebody said to me, it was a Luigi Catelan Bead. I don't know very well the american modern beads. Is somebody to explain me what is this bead? I'm going to send to you different views of this bead. Thanks at all!
