A restrung necklace of antique Bohemian glass trade beads, featuring black wound glass, red beads, and distinctive white four-point ‘snake’ beads. HO: Wow, this is a special piece comprised of a mix of beads some of which date back the 19th century. The snake beads, those that interlock in stars or points, can be the even older Prosser bead form but those are identified with larger interior holes whereas this piece appears to be the standard bohemian snake bead variety. If you are interested in understanding more about these types of beads search for the Picard Museum Interlocking Bohemian bead exhibit. Back to this piece, this is a tight fit so please check measurements carefully, it is in a used second hand condition and shows wear approriate with age.
