Small Collections of ancient Nila and Fouille glass beads .. found near Djenné
in the Dogon Area of Mali. All the beads are translucent and in excellent condition for their age. Some have been gently cleaned to reveal their true colours.

Dome shape beads - typical of
larger ancient blue Nila glass.
These specimen beads clearly demonstrate the difference between the levels of detritus found on beads in sand ( the cleaner ones ) and on those which were found in soil.
The choice is yours as to whether you wish to
clean these beads further.
