INDO PACIFIC beads-1500-2000 years old. multi-colored-24 inches-Java to Cambodia

Description

Up for consideration is a 24 inch necklace of ancient glass beads called Indo-Pacific beads. These were made and used from 1500-2000 years ago. They were used from Java to Cambodia by the way of Sumatra, They were even found in the ancient empire nations of Burma. These were the trading items of that time. Colorful, light, small-easy to carry. They were handmade. Children often find them in the mud after monsoons, picking them up with needles and stringing them on temporary fishing line. If worn, these should be restrung on modern micro beading line. I've had these for about 30 years. If worn, the body oils will enhance the color of the beads.............ancient history to be worn.
