20 inch strand of old African glass melon beads. They are well strung on raffia. The individual beads measure about 11 mm to 13 mm, with a diameter of approximately 7 mm. The beads are an opaque white with just a hint of gray, with blue stripes running down the length of the bead, going all around it. Note from the photo that some of the strands have wider blue stripes than others. No two are exactly alike.
