The strand of millefiori with fragments or crumbs is delightfully heavy and uniform!

The group of brown-to-amber tone beads are an appealing field trip just to look at. I saw little beads that may be as old as Roman period, to tiny versions of Bohemian tong-molded bicones and stuff in between including a few of stone. These are examples of some esoteric items that Afghani dealers have. Abdul has some of what they want - so it's just an example of further globalization in bead commerce.
