I should start this out by saying I took apart the Kiffa strand I have, and while I was sorting through the loose beads I found some that don't look like the other beads from the strand...this first bead isn't surface decorated like a Kiffa. Is it possibly Phoenician? Age? Appreciate the help

- The ones on the table (Near caliper) look to be Kiffa with European core. They are all beautiful. (no text) --- jake ( 2014-02-20 20:47 )
