Product Details

Take a look at these unusual Medicine Man beads found in Ethiopia, East Africa. Old trade beads such as these are originally of Venetian provenance and were transported by merchants and explorers for trade in Africa during the 18th-20th centuries. How these beads got their interesting name is not known for sure but it is possible that some kind of healing power or protective quality was attributed to these beads in local culture. Individual beads will measure approximately 9-11 x 10-11mm with approximately 100 beads per strand. This is listing is for an extra long strand as pictured in the photo. You will receive a strand similar to that pictured. The condition of individual beads can vary and it is not uncommon for some to be cracked or chipped due to the travails of time. These beads may be restrung and worn as a necklace or used to add a special touch to your unique jewelry. Don’t miss this opportunity to own your piece of history!
