This small collection of beads was found in the Province of Palawan (Philippines) -a remnant of the active bead trade that took place about 1000 years ago. The strand features several types of dense “combed”, “folded” and “millefiori” glass beads usually associated with the Middle Eastern (Islamic period) styles (circa 700-1000CE).
Average bead size is 14mm. Strand sold “as is” -all beads pictured are included.
