    Dear Sami; These beads look gorgeous to say the least! Are these wooden beds, similar to the ones I posted under your other necklace? If they are, they are very old and RARE. With kind regards. Peter

    Thank you Peter . These beads are most probably like you described them to be wooden beads , knowing that they came from an antique dealer in Aqaba matches your story very well since Aqaba is very close to Sinai. Much appreciated . Br

    I have seen them described as horn too in Morocco, not sure if that is correct.

    can we get a close up please?

    I have seen similar beads from Mali and they were supposedly water buffalo horn.
