Circa 1800’s French & Czech snake vertebrae in white, pastel pink, jade, and buttercup. The white tooth-like shaped interlocking beads are difficult to date and where they were made remains a mystery. In the 15 years I have been collecting old African trade beads, I have never come across any like this. They have a speckled white matte finish reminiscent of vanilla bean ice cream and appear to made out of a porcelain like material, similar to the other vertebrae in this bracelet. Truly a one-of-a-kind piece. Each bead was cleaned and restored by myself and remains in beautiful condition given their old age and distance traveled. Patina is present, not all beads are perfectly shaped.
