Pidgeon Egg Beads
Pidgeon egg beads were made in Bohemia around the turn of the
19th century and mostly traded to west Africa. They are named after their size and shape and were made to resemble the copal
beads popular amongst the Africans. You will always receive
the exact beads pictured. Please inquire about quantity discounts on all trade beads.

Another nice pair of amber imitating beads that display a little wear and tear. I think it's fun to imagine who has
owned these beads over the course of 100 years or so!
