Or you mean that my bead is also a kiffa?

I believe the manufacturing technique on the Islamic bead you show is identical to the technique on the bead I show...the main difference is color, nice bead!

Oh, I see: both of them are Islamic -- I thought yours was a kiffa (so ignorant).

Yours is a kiffa bead, made in the likeness of an Islamic, folded glass bead. But not Islamic. But it is a supper kiffa bead and they are very collectable $$$

The first image Thomas shows is an Islamic period bead, likely of the type that inspired...
