A Short Strand of 25 Ancient Islamic Period Green Evil Eye Beads with Yellow and White Eyes 0463A

This listing is for a short strand of ancient Islamic Period beads in a rare green color with yellow and white eyes.

Excavated in the areas of D'Jenne and Gao in Mali and some in Mauritania, these beads are stunning in their beauty. They are dated to Islamic Period, between the 8th and 12th century AD. A good reference for the history and excellent illustrations of these beads is a book by Augusto Panini "Middle Eastern and Venetian Glass Beads: Eighth to Twentieth Centuries" ISBN 9788861301641.

There are 25 beads ranging from 7 to 11 mm in diameter. Some beads have more patina than others. Most of the beads have intact yellow or white eyes, some with a blue "iris" in the middle. Nicks, minor chips, and irregularities are expected in beads of this venerable age, but the beads overall are in good antique condition.

COLORS: Our photos are taken in different lighting in an attempt to show how beads look in different lighting conditions. We make every effort to show colors as accurately as possible. The white background photos are taken in daylight conditions. The black background photos are taken in the strong lab light, and would be representative of what they would look like in the evening electric light. Some of the photos are backlit to emphasize their translucency. Note that monitor settings strongly affect the way the colors look. What you see on your monitor may differ from what you see with a naked eye depending on your monitor settings.
