    This large ancient dark green serpentine bead comes from West Africa. Although its exact age is unknown, it is believed to be over 1000 years old. This is an ancient bead that can be seen from the shape of its hole (aperture). (See our other listings for old serpentine beads which look very similar, but are later, antique imitations of these ancient beads.)
    Serpentine has been highly prized in West Africa since antiquity, so much so that it is sold by weight.
    As appropriate for the age, some nicks and chips may be present. Please see the photos for the detail.
    The bead is 40 x 23.2 mm and weighs 32g.
