This is a rare ancient mandrel wound dark red glass bead with white and blue eye decorations which was found in Mali and comes via the African trade. This ancient trade bead measures 8.28mm long by 12.75mm wide and is in good rustic condition with some surface wear and two pits inside the bead perforation. This is an ancient bead sometimes referred to as a Medieval bead, Islamic bead or a Roman bead. I combine shipping on multiple orders so please check out my ebay store Mountainamma's Marketplace where I have thousands of items to browse through from Africa and beyond. For buyers of multiple items message me before checking out for help combining shipping fees.
