Your African beads demonstrate that Lukut beads are Venetian, and not as old as thought.

Dear Jamey:
Yes, I gradually realize my lukut like beads (I called them---4 ribbon eyes) are not so old after I collect more and more trade beads. By observing and comparing with both, I found my beads from Borneo (exactly from clean lake oak Ca.) have many Venetian marks. Usually, we can say that if two items appear similar size, shape, and decorations, the coarse one maybe imitate the exquisite one. This formula could be suitable here, probably. Have a nice day.

Sincerely
Wayne
