This is a lovely matched group of old granulated brass metal beads with a gold wash. These are made by the Yoruba people of Nigeria. These are antique beads and do suffer from some wear but are overall in very good shape for their age and extensive use as trade beads. These retain nearly all of their gold wash and have a very bright coloration. These are very nicely constructed beads as well as high quality examples of this intricate craftsmanship which would be great for artist, designer, or collector and are not to be missed!
