I am quite sure that the first two beads at the left are Islamic, and the third (at right) may be Islamic (or early Venetian).
The dimensions range from 15 mm to 17 mm in length and 8mm in diameter.
Would these all be known as Millefiori or applied cane beads?
Thanks!
Karina

I certainly would like to see these three beads inperson. Thanks for the show.

something about all 3 beads -they are too perfect, neither worn, chipped, ground or mucky

very intriguing anyway.
I'd investigate whether they could be Indonesian, or chinese, before I'm convinced they are really old.
what did they come with?

Did the round millefiori eye bead ("folded") shown in another post come from the same source?

I acquired them as single beads in Mali from 2 different dealers.
There is pitting and some and very minor chips visible in all three beads, this visible with a 10X magnifying glass.

Thank you Jamey, serendipity it is!
I will be enclosing another similar bead that just happened to slip away, so that will make 3 out of 4.
Thank you as always,
Karina
