Dear friends
Thomas,will,and jan
i am also happy to hear about you.
my intend for puting those face beads in a post was,to find if some of you have similar in color or shape.then it was easier to find
source .will is right they might came to persia from many diffrent place in west asia.also it was a question for me why they have diffrent color and face although all were found in fars province.
maybe becuse of diffrent peiod of making? i dont know.unfortunatly
they are just some sample we could document,i heard about rooster,hen and diffrent
type of face beads.for example one that i pointed earlier with gold foil glass around is really intresting.and for you who are masters
in glass beads,could be a nice topic for research.
i also apriciate sir jan for nice beads photos as always.
i hope some we could have better information about these nice beads.
here are a group of fake face beads that i reported before,and heard these days they found way to east asia.so will if you saw some in thai
market dont surprise.
these fakes first time i saw in shiraz bazzar and thought they are from syria or some where else.but they were made in shiraz
in that time i took some pics and i gave sample to dear friend will.
surely beads from earlier posts are real and ancient,there were other pics also in that book,but mostly coins and other ancient stuff.
again thx for your kind post and help.
Ali
