From the collection of Austin Cooper, whose collection, built over 30 years, contained superb examples of ancient beads, Venetian and other European trade beads, Bodom, Akoso, and Kiffa beads, Jatim and other rare Asian beads. Austin had a superb eye, and Africa Direct is proud to be able to offer his beads, his legacy, many of which are of a quality rarely available today. Although these glass beads with white "eyes" are commonly known as "Roman Eyes," they are, according to bead expert Jamey Allen, actually ancient Islamic beads, not Roman. 10 BeadsBead Size: 12-15 mm diameter. 11-14 mm p.-p.
