Two stunning, fused-cane morfia from David at AfricanTradeBeads.com, ca900AD, one the classic morfia design, the other a smallish, three-section bead with wondrous green and yellow Byzantine-style flowery canes fused vertically-most unusual! The other beads are beautiful etched carnelians from Jan, Sassanian period or earlier. Numerous pics. Enjoy! Steve

String em up! They need a neck!! And if you leave them on that deserted alien beach too long, they'll sunburn!
Great patterns, good solid lines! Nice group Steve!

Steve, this is a great bead, these are some of my all time favorites!
The bead you show looks solid and "creamy" not brittle and flakey!
I actually preffer the plain ones without the eyes the best!
Great shots of great beads, thanks for taking me away from the suffering for a brief moment!
Thomas

Yes, the respite was good.
