Hi all,
I bought this necklace on a market in 2003 In Cameroun. the dealer said to me that they were from Ghana, and Bodom, but I see Hebron beads, I think, and an islamic bead. I don't know if they are old, or modern bodom. There is also a big red bead, that I don't know.
What do you think about theses beads?
thanks at all!

        Bead in the middle - Venetian? Looks like a trail-decorated wound bead (no text) --- Rosanna ( 2015-10-02 09:46 )
        
        I'm pretty sure the bead on the right end is a Venetian glass bead (no text) --- Rosanna ( 2015-10-02 09:45 )

        I agree, the bi-cones you showed are powder glass, not Venetian --- Rosanna ( 2015-10-02 19:03 )

        I'm sorry but I don't know how to tell "Old Bodom" from new beads made in similar fashion --- Rosanna ( 2015-10-03 10:10 )
        
        yes I agree with you, --- kika ( 2015-10-03 13:26 )
