This strand of Venetian trade beads from Africa features rare, black and white striped, wound and decorated glass beads that date back to the late 19th to early 20th century. The overall condition of the beads is good, with small chips, corrosion, and pitting that attest to their age. The bead sizes range from 0.31-0.39" (inch) in diameter, and the total strand length is 32" (inch), including string or raffia. These unique beads are a beautiful example of the anique jewelry. It is important to note that this strand is not intended to be a ready-to-wear necklace, as the raffia holding it together is not durable and may break with use.
