The first one must be one of the most fascinating bead cards I have ever seen. It is in the archive of the bead museum, and appears to commemorate an anniversary. The piece is made up of all these ceramic beads, many of which are made to mimick certain trade beads.

The second is a small box with one pound of seed beads that I got to take home. It is still closed, but was intended to be shipped to Mr Sulemanji in Bombay. I have yet to date this one. The beads that are inside are the same as the small bunch on top (or so the seller told me).
