This is an antique, Czech, Bohemian, molded, glass, interlocking, imitation, snake, vertebrae bead set which comes via the African trade. These European glass interlocking beads were designed by Bohemian bead makers to mimic the real snake bone vertebrates which were worn on traditional necklaces by some African tribal members. This bead set is in great condition with slight dings and would be excellent for jewelry making or adding to your African trade bead collection. Average bead of the set measures approximately 5.25mm long by 6.25mm wide. I combine shipping on multiple orders so please check out my eBay store where I have thousands of items to browse through.
