There are about nine more shots to post, that are basically all Frankish beads; though with the occassional anachronism.

In this strand, we can see a bead that looks suspiciously like a 19th C. Venetian "feather-pattern" bead. It either IS that, or it's what the Venetians were trying to copy when they made feather-pattern beads. (Again, I'd have to check my notes to see if I made any remark about this at the time.)

Many of the other beads are the simple monochromatic wound beads that would be common anywhere in Europe of this time, and probably anywhere at any time. Note the dominance of the colors red, yellow, and white.

JDA.
