A short strand of 10 Large Ancient Islamic Period Blue Evil Eye Beads 0008

A short strand of 10 large blue ancient evil eye glass beads sourced in Mali. Excavated in the areas of D'Jenne and Gao, these beads are stunning in their beauty. They are dated to Islamic Period, between 8th and 12th century AD. The beads are ancient and are somewhat irregular in shape. Every bead is unique. Most of the beads are in good shape, clean, and intact, but minor cracks or nicks that do not impact the integrity of the bead are possible and appropriate for the age of these beads. An occasional bead may be green but most of the beads are blue. The eyes are mostly white, with an occasional yellow eye possible. Some eyes show substantial wear appropriate for the age. There may be an occasional bead with no eye. Some beads have some patina. The photo is that of a sample strand, you will get a random strand of similar beads.
