...you singled out the large dark colored millies. Maybe you just meant the far right one with the circular red eyes. My bead was just to the left. To me they just LOOK so European. It's more of an emotion than an opinion. They seem to scream "Dark Ages!" And the shape seems wrong for Egypt, but again that is not based on anything except emotion. At any rate I think they are near the top of coolest beads....Thanks! Steve
