Large Antique Yemeni Bakelite Cube Beads x 2
A set of two large antique Yemeni Bakelite cube beads. One is very slightly larger than the other. Both have beautiful rich, warm colouring and are drilled. The beads have some scuffs, small chips and surface scratches from years of trade use, attesting to their authenticity. See photos for details.
These beautiful large beads have been Simichrome tested with a positive result. They are increasingly rare and therefore highly collectible. They are also ideal for use in making a necklace if desired. Simply stunning.
We have tried our best to capture the wonderful rich colours of these beads. Please note that variations in monitor settings, brightness, and colour profiles may cause the beads to appear slightly different on different screens.
