Description: Vintage / Antique molded glass bead 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. This Lion Claw bead measures 20.32mm long by 32.86mm wide and 5.97mm thick. These beads are worn everyday by some African women and traditionally on their wedding day. This bead is in good overall condition with some 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.
