PROVENANCE: Finding rare, late 19th/ early 20th Century Chevrons like these listed beads, was always a thrill when I haunted the bead markets of West Africa while living/working in Lagos, Nigeria in the mid-1970s. Collected over the years from Code d'Ivoire, Ghana, and Nigeria. Originally made by the Venetian glass/bead artisans. Known as the Aristocrat of beads, these magnificent beads (also known as Rosetta or Star Beads) are composed of 5 to 7 layers of multi-layered drawn glass in blue, white, red. MEASUREMENTS: 1 inch long x 2 1/2 inch around; 1/4 center drilled hole.
