Chain with brown and brown/black wedding beads 'wedding...

This is a necklace, made of beads called 'wedding beads', from Mali. These beads were made in Bohemia, in the period between 1920 and 1940, specifically for trade with West Africa. They were shipped mainly to Mali. In total the necklace has 17 large, teardrop-shaped beads and a large number (35) of small flat and other beads. Also 2 large and 4 small end beads. The necklace weighs 170 grams and has a length of 43 cm. The teardrop-shaped beads measure approximately 25 × 14 mm. The dominant color is brown, in variants ranging from light brown to dark brown. The beads were purchased by us in Mali a long time ago. The necklace is carefully packaged and shipped via Post.nl, insured and trackable. Due to uncertainty in transportation to the U.S., we prefer not to ship to the U.S. No minimum price.
