Description: This is a set of rare antique German marble beads with internal decorations which come via the African trade. These German made African trade beads are in fair and very rustic tribally used condition with a lot of wear and fractures plus the center bead has a large chip. These German Marble beads measures 17.59mm long by 19mm wide, 17.87mm long by 19mm wide and 16.60mm long by 17.32mm wide. Antique German marble beads were made in Lauscha, Germany and are drawn beads. In 1849 a German by the name of F.
