Strand of Rare small Mottled dark Teal Majapahit Beads African Trade beads The larger size is 20mmTraded in Indonesia around 800 years ago, this is a strand of 32 small (approx 15mm long x 13mm diameter) to medium (18mm x 19mm) teal greenish color Majapahit beads. Some of these beads are chipped (and one is cracked in half see photos) and have a rather comprehensive mottled pattern and finish from hundreds of years of wear.
