Please, here are some new photos of the beads. I'm pretty sure they are Venetian.

I didn't show any photos last time of the one side with the cross, the most important feature. The dark beads are carefully ground flat on each end, very nicely done. Approx 10-11mm diameter.

I'd love to know if anyone else has seen either of these bead types or owns any. A positive ID from a reference like the Sick collection would be the best.

New computer, new camera. Let's see if these will post.
