This item is a set of 5 flat, antique beads with realistic weathering marks and a subdued vermilion color. These beads are red to light red, imitating mountain coral, and are said to have been made in Europe (Bohemia). They were strung together as ornaments as a substitute for valuable coral and have been passed down through generations. They show signs of age-related wear, abrasion, patina, and slight variations in shape. #Aochans #Antique #Ethnic #Glass #Beads #Nepal #Sherpa #MountainPeople #GlassBeads
