Silver - Basket weave courtesy of Marie-Ange - Wooden Mauritanian beads inlaid with silver wire - Large Mauritanian silver bead sourced in Morocco - New Indonesian black striped glass beads - Engraved Serpentine beads (China), Brass Ethiopia and Ghana - black horn beads.
Beautiful! Great color and textures in these.
Very beautiful necklace. On the braclet there are some more different beads........ one Looks like a West African brass bead (Ghana or similar?) and a small Ethiopian round telsum bead ?).
Thanks Eva and Toya and Sarah for the feature.
You are correct Eva, a small brass breast amulet from Ethiopia and brass cast Baoule Ghanaian bead, with aja beads.
Love the way each bead is different but all blend beautifully into the whole.
Natalie, Yes its wood, but have no idea if the "silver" wire is actually silver, sometimes there is a copper design as well.
Patti thanks for your comments and I bet you can't wait for the forthcoming trip - have fun, I am sure you will and it will be good to be back in 'Kech again - please say hello to Faouzi from Ann, (he will remember if you tell him that I am the one with the Muslim son).
Take lots of pictures and especially of the textiles......
Will take lots of photos and share them here! Feel blessed to be able to go with Sarah et al on another wonderful adventure.
I particularly like the basket weave beads in this particularly harmoniously designed necklace. You sure do have the talent, kiddoh!
Have a most wonderful time, Patti! Knowing you, you`re sure to unearth some super interesting pieces.
This is stunning Ann! Beautiful textures and patinas.
