..usual, probably Islamic. The way the eyes look is quite interesting to me. It could be one of Jamey's "layered" eye beads, or be a marvered stratified eye, or heck, cane slices. Sure would be nice to have Jamey and my beads in the same room. It would be so helpful to have him pick up beads and point out their construction methods, versus having to picture in my mind the picture he has in HIS mind, with only the text to go by. I'm glad you found the post helpful! It's funny how certain beads, even ones that might be considered "humble" so to speak, stick in your mind. As soon as I saw yours I remembered mine, even though I have hundreds of beads that one would call "more desirable." Strange things, these little addictive globs of glass! Take care-Steve
