I recently acquired these beautiful beads, but have not been able to find specific information on them. Each bead is 25mm long and 15mm in diameter and I would appreciate any assistance in properly identifying them. Thank you.

I believe these are fairly new beads from India, or possibly Indonesia

the shape, the indian face canes and patterned millefiori are instantly recognisable- the bead holes will be quite large and coated with a black furnace residue.
a similar indian face cane on a bead can be seen on p28 and the sample cards on p.76 show the various typical shapes in my bead collector's book-
Fun but not really old or rare!
