  • Really lovely, wonderfully crafted beads. And beautiful against their background. What is it? Tuareg leather?

  • Beautiful little things, some obviously with advanced age!!

    It is very interesting to see them still on their original fabric!

  • Are these the type found among the moors in Timbuktu?

  • lovely pieces.

  • Joining in on the group admiration. Anyone with photos of women wearing these?

  • Me, too! The granulation is superb.
