Jamey, Thomas, Charles... here is a bead I found in 2004, on a mixed strand of Islamic era beads and early chevrons. It's a small seven layer chevron with inset cane slices. Don't you think the cane slices look just like Charles' he just posted?? Anyway, I have never seen one like it, this old of a chevron with the inset murrine. Does anyone else have similar examples???

I have four photos so will do this in two posts. At the time I bought it JP was interested in seeing it, so I still do owe him a closer look in person.
