Description

Dutch Duelff pattern bead

Context

This was an amazing discovery; these beads are very distinct with a trail of molten blue glass making a design on a heated white bead background. Bead collectors that I have talked to told me that most went to Africa and Asia, almost never here. So this is an interesting geographic anomaly.
