1 Antique TRADE BEAD: Africa Bohemia - Coffee Bean - 12x10mm - Brown White

1 Antique African tradebead - originally made in Bohemia 

These glass beads were made in Europe (in Bohemia) in the early/mid 1900's and transported to Africa where they were used as money (and highly valued).

These kind of beads are known as 'Coffee Beans' - but I think they resemble brown striped Agate beads

Great to use in your jewelry, but also great to display. Will increase in value!

• Tabular/Egg-shaped: size approx 11,5-12 mm long x 9,5-10 mm across (hole approx 1 mm)
• Beautiful handmade beads, in shades of Brown with White 'stripes'
• Price is for 1 bead as/of the photos, where you can see (for they are handmade) that each bead is unique (shape/size/pattern)
