    They are called taguemout

    Yes, "taguemout" is Berber for "egg" if I'm not mistaken.

    Hi Joe-Another fabulous piece from your collection! I have bought many wonderful North African items from you over the years, both at the SF Tribal Show and in Tucson. My favorite strand of antique coral came from you. I'm so happy you are now part of our group.

    Thanks, Marie-Ange!  I like the subtle differences from one bead to the next.  Nice to meet you here.  Best, Joe
