a millie bead that I don't see to often with diagonally placed canes and yellow banding at one end. length 38.4 mm.

I should have said this bead is from the late 1800's, it's too late to correct it.

It's fun to see unusual new arrivals. I'm not familiar with the Ashanti powder glass stool bead. Do you know approximate age?

Hi Joyce, I don't know the age, it is not new but the hole doesn't show much wear. It is an Ashanti bead and I have not seen another like it. The gold dust is embedded on both sides. A great little bead with a lot of character! Judy

Late 1800s -early 1900s on the powder glass bead.

Very cool powder glass bead, Judy. Make sure TASART does not see it!

TASART can have the stool (which is cool), but I am coveting the trailed elbow! I have a huge weakness for those beauties....

Great acquisitions and thanks for sharing!
