This is a set of ancient, green, wound, glass Hebron beads which are in good condition with some surface wear. This Hebron bead set's largest bead measures 16mm long by 26mm wide. Ancient Hebron beads are also referred to as Kano beads and are believed to have been made by utilizing salt acquired from the Dead Sea for alkali in the bead making process. These beads date from the 12th Century to the early 1800's and were made in Hebron / West Bank, Israel. These ancient Hebron beads were traded into Africa long ago via trade routes. These Hebron trade beads which were once plentiful are now running out having been mostly collected, they are now a rare bead to get a hold of. This bead collection is very highly desirable and would be excellent for jewelry making or adding to your African Trade bead collection. I love to combine shipping on multiple orders to help you save money, so please check out my eBay store where I have thousands of items to browse including antique beads, ancient beads and trade beads.
