Hi everyone, I am new to this so I hope the pictures come through. I am not new to beads as my father has collected them over the years. I have just started to show an interest in them and their meaning to tribal peoples. He has told me his opinion on this bead with a but. He always says "Do not believe or disbelieve what you are told but check it out as best you can and then make your own mind up" So he suggested I join this group and get opinions, so as to make my own mind up. So thanks for your opinions in advance.

Hi Kai,

Please include measurements. And why not share the information you and your father may have correctly or incorrectly gathered?

Just Fred

Hi Fred, my father thought it was a Bodom bead because of the core. He had not heard of the name Adepoade so he and I have both learnt something.
