FAIENCE WAS A PRECURSOR TO THE GLASS BEAD INDUSTRY OVER 3000 YEARS AGO. THE LEVANT REGION INCLUDES MANY CULTURES AND PERIODS AND IS JUST NORTH EAST OF  PRESENT DAY EGYPT. IN ANCIENT TIMES SEVERAL DYNASTIES OF EGYPT ENCOMPASSED  THAT REGION. '' THE CEDARS OF LEBANON '' WERE IN THIS AREA KNOWN AS THE LEVANT. IT IS AN ANCIENT HISTORICAL HOTSPOT AND IT IS STILL SO RELEVANT AS FAR AS HISTORY IS CONCERNED EVEN TODAY. THE BEAD AND ARTIFACT AVAILABILTY HAS CEASED DUE TO THE EROSION OF THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN THIS  TUMULTUOUS REGION. MY BEADS WERE OBTAINED FROM A FAMILY WHO LEFT THIS REGION IN THE 1960'S.
