Description: Vintage / Antique molded glass beads made in Bohemia better known as the Czech Republic specifically for being traded into Africa in the 1920s-1950's. Among the Fulani women of Mali these trade beads were used during weddings being presented to the bride, hence the name evolved wedding beads. Largest bead of the set measures 33mm long by 20.46mm wide and 5.20mm thick. These beads are worn everyday by some African women and traditionally on their wedding day. This bead set is in great overall condition with some surface wear. Perfect for jewelry making or adding to your African trade bead collection. 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.
