i got these in Tucson in 2015 they were threaded with some other obviously Indonesian beads, and at a guess i think they were all made in Indonesia in the 1980s. they are mostly 35 millemetres or about 1.4 inches long

Since I made glassbeads myself, at some point, I am at a loss to explain, how this beads has been made. I am not sure many contemporary beadmakers were able to copy this copy in same precision.

I am not even sure, the lines - later to be raked - have been applied with the obligatory "stringers".

The bead is clearly torch-made! No doubt about that. Still - how this industry has been able to execute such a tricky design, with only a limited experience on their belt, is literally above me.

please note they are threaded African-fashion on raffia with green beads that are very similar types to Indonesian ones i acquired in my shop at its old address in the later 1980s, which led me to guess a similar date for these - which i bought from Leo Hakola who has said many times that he generally stopped buying over 20 yrs ago... i suppose even with a big pinch of salt they cannot be very recent. I think the ones with the dots are particularly attractive!
