Description

WISHING A WONDERFUL NEW YEAR TO ALL!
(15) ETCHED TERRACOTTA BEADS.
These interesting artifacts are hand made beads such as the spindle whorl beads that have been used in Mali for centuries in the spinning of yarn. The exact age of these beads is not known, but they are probably
much more contemporary
, based on their appearance and condition.
They are made of clay (terracotta), are
almost 1" in diameter and 3/4" thick
,  and are in very good condition with minor wear from age or use. Over the years whorls have been collected and strung for use as jewelry, as is being done today. These are
not "type photos"
they are the actual beads you will receive. (I offer 1-day shipping as a matter of course, and often ship the same day payment is received. I figure once you've paid for something, you own it, and might as well have it as soon as possible.
