Chain with blue wedding beads 'wedding beads' - 1920...

This is a necklace made of beads called 'wedding beads' from Mali. These beads were made in Bohemia, between 1920 and 1940, specifically for trade with West Africa. They were shipped mainly to Mali. The necklace comprises a total of 17 large, drop-shaped beads and a large number (36) of small flat and other beads. The necklace weighs 165 grams and has a length of 50 cm. The drop-shaped beads measure about 25 × 14 mm. The dominant color is dark blue. The beads were purchased by us in Mali. The necklace is carefully packaged and shipped via Post.nl, insured and trackable with Track & Trace. Due to uncertainties in transit to the United States, we prefer not to ship to the US. No minimum price.
