STUNNING ANTIQUE~LARGE~1~VERY OLD~BODUM~AKOSO~ IT CAME ON A VERY EXPENSIVE BODOM/AKOSO STRAND~BLACK CORE ~COOL PATTERN ~GHANA~AFRICAN Trade bead~!!~GREAT CONDITION! HISTORY~. How the patterns were applied is a controversy. Some experts say the pattern was pre-formed of molten glass and hot worked onto the beads, others say they were formed in the molds prior to the beads being made.
Most of the older African powder glass beads like \"Akoso\" and \"Bodom\" beads are still somewhat of a mystery and research on them continues today. In Africa, these beads are held in the highest esteem and usually only worn for celebrations, funerals, and are often buried with the dead. There is much African folklore about their magical powers as well.
Good examples of \"BODUM\" beads are becoming rarer and rarer to find in the bead market today. Fewer beads are coming in from Africa with the Bead Traders. Most of the better \"BODUM\" beads in America are now in private collections but occasionally recent finds do show up.~DUBIN~
